I've started choosing a word to define each year's goals, and try to think of it when I'm tempted to stray from them! @Ali-bell: The post-it trick is a great idea! I'd definitely consider adding that to my routine. Thanks for sharing! @DSK: I love that you have a motto to motivate yourself–I’m big on that, too.

My secrets are 3, 4 and 5. Those three, combined, are so great, so good to get productive. I wrote something in Latin at a place where I always see it; Omnem Pelle Moram. It means: Expell all the procrastination. And it worked, everytime I see the phrase, I'm going to get something done, right at the moment. Thanks!
