You are your own management and employees!Management by objectives (MBO) by Peter Drucker

Make A PlanYou can’t lose 20 pounds overnight unless it is a

surgeryIt is always overwhelming in the beginning,

hence milestones and deadlines‘If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it’ by

Peter Drucker

Get To WorkSmall achievements are good - One step at a

time!Make yourself accountable and reward yourselfBe consistent, keep track and tell others about

your progress

Stick To It 1Important things do pop up: Laundry and other chores Basic Needs (food, sleep, etc.) Emails to be answered ASAP Unplanned obstacles Major change in priorities

Time Management: Allocate Time!

Stick To It 2Deal with self-doubt or false reasoning, like It is about the

journey and not the destination, I tried it before it didn’t work or I’m not a runner

It is hard but you are not alone. Read success stories.

Go back to the roots of your goal: There was a reason why you wanted to do it.

Stick To It 3Not enough resources? Get help! You plan wasn’t realistic? Revise

your plan!Need motivation? Call a friend

and ask them why you should do it. Or join a social platform, ex. https://www.fitocracy.com

Just keep doing it!

Reach Your GoalYou did it! Reward yourself and celebrateShare your accomplishment with others! It will

motivate and inspire themWe can do anything! Opportunities are limitless! We are here to create!

The MeaningAccomplishment is part of happinessMartin Seligman revised his whole happiness equation: His New Theory of Flourishing is built upon positive emotions, accomplishment, positive relationship, meaning and engagement, which all constitute the foundation of positive psychology.
