Realistic goals – Set realistic goals to achieve. Unrealistic goals put more stress on you and cause you to feel let down if you are unable to achieve your goals.
Similarly, do not make only simple and easy-to-achieve goals as you underestimate your abilities and waste much time.
Performance levels – Set goals on your performance and do not always just judge your capabilities by results or outcomes of your endeavors. If you are unable to work due to external factors like bad weather or injuries, allow for that in your reviews, but plan how to deal with those factors, as much as possible in future. Be comfortable with your performance.
After achieving a particular goal, understand the impact of this achievement on your other goals. Applaud yourself on your efforts and determination. Such self-confidence boosts will motivate you to accept and fulfill more difficult goals. You benefit from these methods and emerge successful in your endeavors. Even if you cannot achieve all that you aim for, learn from your mistakes. Then, try again with renewed vigor and you will surely taste success.
