每日口說挑戰【生涯規劃】一招讓你立定目標、規劃未來、達成夢想！ (How to predict the future and plan for it)

☺So if you're lacking a little bit of motivation and you want to get yourself inspired again, you might want to consider making a goal board.
因此，如果你現在缺乏些動力並想讓自己再度被激勵，就可以考慮做個「目標板」。
【心得】我比較偏向做一些實際做得到的小小行動計畫，養成習慣去執行，有做總比沒做好。有時候即便沒動力，習慣做久了也就會變自然了，就像錄口說挑戰一樣。
