1. Give yourself incentives for achieving your goals that do not hurt your progress:

For example, every night you hit your protein intake, enjoy a small piece of dark chocolate.
The concept of positive reinforcement is something that has been proven to be effective.
The tricky part is finding incentives that keep you track to achieving your goals.
2. Supersets:

E.g chest and back, legs and shoulders
3. Record your form:
