It does not have to be unique. Unless you have something in mind just copy something or someone. 2c) Set a deadline. It should be relatively short. 1 to 1.5 months. Don't try to learn everything. But make it a challenge.3) Find a place where you will study. Not at home and it should have limited internet access.4) Set a schedule. Maybe, every day from 6 to 75) Set 1 day for study and the next day for action and review and work time on your project.6) Follow thruThe big key is that you need to get out of the house and you need to keep a schedule. It's very hard to stay disciplined at home.
