All that begins with having SMART goals.

Everyone is able to identify a problem with regards to a certain concept. But not everyone is able to identify a problem and also provide a solution. It’s only a solution that builds up to the achievement of your goals.
You must remember that you operate within an environment and you will interact with people. Use the same mentality of being a problem solver. Instilling the same mentality among your circle of friends will bring about an efficient attitude amongst them as well.
A proper mindset
In the end, the correct mindset will determine your rate of productivity and level of efficiency. At all times, you must submit to this new mentality that you have adopted. Constantly adhere to your schedule. Once you have set your goals and your timeline, move heaven and earth for you to achieve your goals.
For you to achieve more in life, you need to maximize the time that you have. Don’t sacrifice more of it. Make the time you have now count.
