You’re more likely to keep at things when they become second nature. * Look at alternate ways of doing things: Don’t just assume every problem is a nail if you have a hammer. Try to look for alternative approaches which may simplify things. * Pace yourself: Don’t go our strong only to burn out before you get to the finish line. Pace yourself.
