Having such lofty goals, and so little time to do it, maximizing my productivity is crucial. Every minute has to be devoted to doing something useful, and I have to ensure I have the mindset and the motivation to do it. You could spend hours on Lifehacker and similar sites, reading other people’s productivity secrets (including celebrities), but it takes time to discover and tweak what works for you. If only I had these tools available to me when I was in school.

There’s one tactic I’ve developed which has worked wonders for me, so far. Every day, you have to accomplish something towards your goal. Every single day. Mark it off on your calendar, don’t go to sleep til it’s done, whatever you need to do. Even if you only have five minutes, spend five minutes working towards a greater goal, and you’ll accomplish wonders over time.

It may seem a million miles away - but it gets a lil’ closer every day. - Moshav Band
