How to Get Yourself Together and Finally Do It. Ready Strategies for Achieving Any Goal at Work, in Studies, and in Personal Life

Very often we set goals for ourselves but do not achieve them: from cleaning out the closet to fulfilling a cherished dream. We postpone tasks, even though we know we need to start right now. We want to change something, but we don't know where to find the strength for it. Psychologist and president of the Society for the Study of Motivation Ayelet Fishbach knows exactly that it all depends on how we set goals and how we plan to achieve them.

The author of this book reveals how to use scientific discoveries about motivation in business and life. Proven strategies will help you start acting here and now: whether you want to achieve success at work or in your studies, or improve your relationships with loved ones.

You will learn:
– to determine the right moment to sit down and get the job done or to take a break;
– to manage your desires rather than submit to them;
– to allocate your energies, accurately assess your successes and not get stuck halfway;
– to clearly set priorities;
– to identify the type of goals and choose the appropriate planning approach.
