The Habit of Setting Career Goals and Mapping Your Path
It's easy to make lists of goals for your career, but it can be hard to keep track of which goals you're currently working on. This is where a mapping tactic comes in. In a journal or notebook, try laying out your "career map" — that is, what you want professionally and how far down the path you've made progress towards achieving that goal. It might not seem like much now, but it will really help as you go along and stay on track with the idea of charting your route.

4. The Secret Tip: Use Quarterbacks To Make Your Life More Efficient
Here's one tip that I guarantee you've never heard before: your brain is much better at picking a solution than it is at picking an approach to solving a problem that won't work. If you can speed up the process of getting to a conclusion, you'll become much more efficient!
The Quarterback Technique: If you find yourself at a loss for where to begin with a problem, ask yourself, "What would the most successful person in my field do if they were in my shoes?" This is where the Quarterback Technique comes into play. Reach out to others that are tops in their field, and ask them what they would do next. Based on their response, it's possible that you'll get an answer that will help spark a new idea or thought process on how best to handle your current situation.

6. How To Get Yourself Motivated & Start Getting Things Done!
One of the biggest struggles everyone has is getting motivated and actually starting the process of getting things done. It's hard to actually start "cold turkey" and make the decisions to start doing the things you know you'll benefit from.
Well, here's a secret tip for those of you who struggle with motivation. When it comes to starting, it doesn't particularly matter where the motivation comes from — whether it be your boss, an inspirational speaker, or family members. The important thing is that when that initial motivation hits, you don't let it go! You keep pushing through until you finally sit and get all of those tasks started on paper!
7. You're More Likable, Contented, And Productive With A Backpack
Now that it's back-to-school season, we all know just how much stress kids are under in the classroom these days. So if you've got a little one that's going off to school for the first time, or even just a kid who has to head off to the bus stop each day, here's some advice: buy them a backpack! It will help keep their room organized and clean up after their toys in an instant — and you know it will be one of the best things they'll ever own.
8. A Simple Tip For Increasing Your Conversational Skills
You may have heard that there's a basic formula for conversing with others. This formula suggests starting conversations with: "What do you think?", "What are your thoughts?", and "What do you think about that?" The problem is, this formula doesn't really work. Why? Well, because it's all about what the speaker thinks in the first place, not the listener. The listener is what matters!
So if you want to become a more likable person, learn how to listen — not just hear people out. Become more curious and interested in people's experiences on a deeper level. Listen to them until they stop talking (at least based on their interests). And then, ask if you can share your thoughts with them. This will make you more likable and give others the impression that you actually care about their experiences or opinions!
