Once we have our list waste no time in tackling those targets. Setting our short and long term goals clearly will allow us to measure our progress. It will also enable us to see the stages of achievement leading to the actual realization of our goals. This will reduce the feeling of a long and meaningless crush towards achieving those goals. If we can complete or achieve our goals step by step our self-confidence and level of competence will also improve as we'll be more aware of our capabilities.
