We all have those days when you reach the bottom of your coffee pot without brewing enthusiasm. Maybe that project you’ve left on the backburner (you know, the one with the deadline that’s growing uncomfortably near) is keeping you from pushing forward and you’re really, really just not feeling it.
Motivation is a tricky thing and at some point, caffeine simply doesn’t cut it. Even if you’re lucky enough to love your job, there will be days when “going the extra mile” is out of the question, it’s a given. (Hey, it’s called “work” for a reason!) While it’s tempting to set your GPS for the nearest beach destination, well, not everyone has the luxury to do that. Ultimately, there are deadlines to consider and people counting on you.
Effective self-motivation is one of the main things that distinguish high-achieving professionals from everyone else. However, motivation is very personal – what get’s one person going may not work for another. Luckily science has supplied multiple ways in which we can be more productive especially when the simplest of tasks seem like a climb up Mt. Everest.
We all need a few tricks in our back pocket for staying motivated. So, without any further ado …
Have a great week!
