Our Homestead

Yep. I definitely work with lists. 
To be honest, most of the things I wanted to accomplish in life, I actually accomplished so I should not complain.

To the young ones I would want to say, don't lose sight of your goals, but depending on what you wish to achieve, do consider the pros and the cons. 
You will always have to make sacrifices. Ask yourself if it is worth it or not. 
If it is, go for it. If it's not, don't do it.

Make a list of your goals.
Set goals and milestones.
Understand what motivates you.
Learn to manage your time.
Create a plan and follow it.
Finish tasks
Consider your work environment
Reward yourself at each step of the way.
