I utilize the 1% principle by Chris Gardener.
Just 1% more (1.01)^365 = 37.8 [Little extra creates 37 times stronger result]
Just 1% less (0.99)^365 = 0.03 [Little less creates 1500 times weaker result]
Do a little bit of more work everyday. Eventually, it will bring fruits, but it takes time. The best way to stay motivated: do a little bit more, everyday. You can do it. Take it one day at a time. Good luck.
