Write your goals down, develop a strategy and associated investment plan. This would include how much you will invest each year, what you are going to invest in (a list of at least 20 stocks that you would like to own in the near future), how you will diversify by sector, etc. Measure your performance against your goal at the end of each year, and revise goals and strategy as needed. One of my favorite quotes (but don't know who coined it), A plan that is not written is a dream.
Good Luck with your investing.

I will add my 2 cents to this excellent advice. As Winston Churchill said, "He who fails to plan is planning to fail".
