People try to do things that they know that they won't do. Than when they have to do something they have an easier time to give up or forget about it. This is not a good habit to pick up because, if you do you will always want to give up and that is not good when it comes to work or school.

So try not to start things you know you wont finish, or things that you think are too hard for you. After you have at least accomplished one goal, you will be ready to have more and you will have the want to finish them. This is because people like to achieve things that make them feel good. These are some great motivational tips.
