* '''Prioritize''' - work out what you're not going to do. Good prioritization is about working out what you don't do, not what's most important
* '''Be honest''' - did you build in time for relaxation, hanging out with friends, watching TV, etc?
* '''Make a plan''' - it does not have to be sophisticated; maybe a simple list, maybe a week by week set of objectives. For running, check out [[Starting to run]].
* '''Understand that people smoke''' - Part of the reason is that people will trade a little pleasure in the short term for a horrific death in the long term. This means that it is hard to achieve your long term goals because short term rewards will get in the way.
* '''Find your rewards''' - Finding some short term reward that is part of a long term goal helps keep motivation high. The reward might be directly related to your long term goal (losing a pound of weight, running a mile, getting a 'C' grade, etc), or it might not (a bar of chocolate for losing a pound, etc).
