There are some days that it is so hard to get motivated to write. This week has been a very long one and every time I would sit down to write something I just could not get into it. This is usually when I will head over to the likes of the Zen Habits or Positivity blog to get motivated to write. Today the Positivity Blog has seven ways to accelerate your journey to success and it defiantly motivated me to get writing.



The first two items really got me thinking because they are things I am not doing and should be looking to be better at.

Number one is taking time to journal. While I write down my goals for the day, week, month, and year, I never sit down and write about my day. The only time I actually do this is when I am traveling. But when I sit down and read my notes from the trip I remember a thing that I probably would have forgotten and that is why journaling is so important. There is something that happened today that could be vital to your success in the future but you do not realize it yet, so it is important to journal as a reference to the future.

The next item to accelerate your path to success is to read books and take notes. While I am a avid reader often reading five or more books a month, I do not sit down and write notes about what I have written. Thinking back to the last book you have read, how much of it do you honestly remember. While I may remember the main points of the book, there are always many things that you are going to forget and once again it may be vital information to you in the future. You need to write them down so you have a record you can refer to as a reference.

Those are the two items I need to work on, take a look at the list and find out what you need to work on to accelerate your path to success...
