One of my greatest pleasures from goal setting and carrying out my daily tasks is the sheer satisfaction I get from looking back and appreciating my progress at the end of the day.

If you want to maximize your chances of achieving what you set out to do, try this five step daily review process.

1. Take ten minutes to look at everything you did today. Think back through your day. Remember each task and how you handled it. Walk through the hours in your mind and see yourself working away diligently at your planned activities.
2. Try not to judge. This is not about giving yourself a hard time if you failed to do something, or did not do it as well as you might have done. Simply make a mental note to do better next time and move on.
3. Be pleased with your progress. Compare where you are today with where you were at the same time yesterday, the same time last week, or last month or even last year. Note how your life, your skills and your self confidence have improved.
4. Reward yourself for the work you have done. Whether it is a mental pat on the back, the encouragement of a loved one or a round of golf, never feel guilty about taking an appropriate reward. You deserve it.
5. Plan your next day. Taking what you have learned and achieved from today, make a plan for tomorrow which encompasses the things you did not manage to finish and the things you want to do better, so that, in the morning, you can hit the ground running.

Achieving your goals doesn't have to be all about blood, sweat and tears. Taking a little time to appreciate your own efforts and achievements is a great way to enjoy the moment.
