This should do the trick every time - Make a hugh public commitment, announce to the world that you’re going to gain a certain goal by a certain date.

Commit yourself to the limit! Announce it on your blog, tell as many folks as possible about your goal. Tell your full office, your entire family, all of your buddies, everybody you meet. And do not just tell them about, but it keep them updated. Ask them to prompt you and remind you and pester you each time they see you.

Start a contact list of everybody you know and send them weekly updates. Post your results up in your office, and in your home. Put daily or weekly results on your blog. Join an internet forum and commit yourself there, and post updates often.

Be imaginative and do what you have to do. But the more positive public pressure you create for yourself, the more likely you will have eventual success. This can be guaranteed! Not one of us likes to look bad to other people. To ourselves it may not matter so much, but to everybody else, we really don’t like to fail in the public’s eye.

After all that, how likely is it that you might back down? Make this simple characteristic of human nature work for you, and help you in achieving your goals.
