The PRIMARY key to getting things done in life is setting a CLEAR DEADLINE.
Humans are natural procrastinatos, if you procrastinate on your goals you'll never archieve them. If you set a deadline tho, you've got a date where it has to be finished and you'll put yourself under pressure to archieve it by then by giving yourself a reward if you did do it and giving you a punishment if you didn't. These can be things such as going for a walk and get an icecream or not going out with the boys when you are invited and instead finish your goal.
Put this to action and you'll look back to a year you got more done in than in the last 5 years.
