Batch Tasks
As you create your to-do lists, try to batch similar tasks together. That’s because you’re likely to stay more focused if you don’t have to completely switch gears to complete a different task.
For example, if your tasks include writing a blog article and creating a lead magnet, then do those two tasks back to back since they both involve writing.

Track Your Progress
If you’re a visual type of person, then you may want to create a visual representation of your progress.
Take the example of a fundraiser that uses a thermometer-style graphic with $0 at the bottom and the fundraiser goal amount at the top. The thermometer is then colored in as the organization raises more and more money. This builds excitement and motivates people to donate.
You can take this same idea and create your own “thermometer” (or other graphic) which represents your progress. It’s a good reminder of how far you’ve come, and it becomes motivating to see you get closer to your goal.
Focus on One Idea
If you have multiple ideas, you may be tempted to scatter your efforts and try to tackle all these ideas at once. But don’t do it, as you’ll dilute your efforts. In the end, you probably won’t accomplish any of your goals or execute any of your ideas.
Instead, pick ONE idea to start with, create a plan, and take steps towards implementation. You may want to choose the low-hanging fruit first by selecting ideas that are easy to implement and will likely produce quick results. This will help you build momentum as you start implementing your other ideas.
Let Go of Perfectionism
Yes, you should do the best work you can when you’re implementing an idea. But at the same time, you need to let go of perfectionism. That’s because perfectionism will have you tweaking an idea endlessly without ever launching it. It’s better to make it good at launch, and then tweak it on the go later.
For example, if you tweak a sales letter endlessly, you won’t really have any idea as to whether the tweaks are actually profitable and useful. Instead, launch a good sales letter – but not a perfect one. You can achieve “perfection” by tracking and testing it with your market. That way, you’ll actually be making money as you improve your conversion rate.
Be Held Accountable
If you have troubles with implementation, then you may want to bring on an accountability partner to keep you on track. This is someone who knows about your plans and goals, and then asks you about them regularly. (As often as daily if you need a lot of help in this area, otherwise weekly at a minimum.)
Here’s why it works: you don’t want to lie to your partner about the progress you’ve made, and telling the truth if you haven’t made any progress is embarrassing. So, most people will simply do the work in order to avoid these uncomfortable feelings.

Balance Work and Life
Implementing a new idea is fun, but don’t spend all your time doing it. Seek out a work-life balance to avoid burning out. Make time for plenty of fun, including taking entire days off, so that you can come back to work fresh and feeling renewed. (Both of which will boost your creativity and productivity.)
