It helps being upfront with friends and family. It makes them want to be involved with you, so you're not doing Personal Progress alone. Set aside time on Sunday to do something new in it, and use all the tools available, including online Personal Progress [personalprogress.lds.org]. Set a date you'll be done by—not just for the whole Personal Progress but with each value—and stick to it. Other than that: Just do it! Thinking about doing it does not get it done.
