One good way to encourage yourself to accomplish your goals is to write them down on paper. Until you do this, you will never convince yourself that your goals are concrete, inflexible, and something worth accomplishing.
However, once you write them down, you have no way to escape. You can simply look at a document on your computer or on the piece of paper you wrote them on; and you can see exactly what your goals were. If you aren’t accomplishing them, you can hold yourself accountable.
So start writing your goals down. As soon as you have them on paper, you also have a way to hold yourself accountable—to make sure that you are living up to your own standards.

I have to do this with everything! If I don’t write it down I completely forget and lose focus on what I’m doing.

That’s a great tip. How can you expect to accomplish a goal if you’re not even willing to write it down? You’re right, there is something about writing a goal down on paper that validates it as being something worth achieving.
Well, I agree to what Garry says, however this is also important for an individual to make a goal and then implement to accomplish the same isn’t it.
Mark,
Even the Bible tells us to “write the vision”, and that is another way of saying your dreams, plan, etc. and where you see or desire to see yourself some time in the future —be it near or far. So it is very important to have a vision or a goal of where we want to see ourselves or even what we desire to accomplish in our lifetime, and writing them down holds us accountable primarily to ourselves.
So writing down your goals, can definitely be a way of encouraging most definitely motivate us you to complete at least 1/2 if not ALL.
