Visualise

Visualise process not outcome

The mind's eye is powerful. So, like elite performers in sport, music and elsewhere, use the mind's eye to power yourself forward.

In your mind, see yourself going through the procedures you need to complete the task.

Research on visualisation shows that when tasks are at the start or part-way through, it's best to stay focused on the process and forget about the outcome.

But, when you are approaching the end, it boosts your motivation to shift your focus to the outcome.

So, in your mind's eye, stay process focused at the start of a project or day, then switch through to a goal focus as the end comes in sight.
