1. Prioritize a single specific goal at a time to increase the likelihood of success and prevent failure in pursuing multiple goals simultaneously.
2. Write out goals with specific actionable steps to clarify the actions required and enhance commitment to achieving them.
3. Regularly update and change the location of visual reminders for goals to capture attention and engage the brain areas associated with novelty and emotionality.
4. Avoid the 'Accountability Fallacy' by not sharing goals before taking action to prevent the reduction of motivation from positive feedback.
5. Utilize a 12-week cycle for goal pursuit, specifying the number of hours per week, hours per day, and specific days dedicated to working on the goal to enhance commitment and effectiveness.
6. Visualize the feeling of failure when lacking motivation to pursue goals to understand the consequences and stay motivated.
7. Implement extreme measures, such as locking away distractions, to maintain focus and avoid interruptions during goal pursuit.
8. Incorporate random intermittent reinforcement in goal achievement to sustain motivation over time by randomly rewarding successes and not rewarding oneself for milestones.
