In the age of high speeds and time shortages, it is easy to fall apart, and when there is only “successful success” around, you don’t want to do anything at all. We offer a “road map” for getting out of laziness – get inspired to work with pleasure!
Listen to yourself
We are never lazy without a reason: someone lacks motivation, and someone is incredibly tired. There may be many reasons, but understanding the prerequisites will allow you to approach the solution of the problem without negative emotions and self-abasement.
Practice time management techniques
Thousands of books and articles have been written about ways to properly allocate your time. All that’s left is to choose a convenient (and working) method for you. It wouldn’t hurt to introduce simple but useful habits into your life that will save you up to 30 hours a week.
Focus on the result
Laziness evaporates instantly when the goal seems worthy to us. That is why, for the sake of inspiring results, most people are ready to work almost without rest – the surge of energy from the anticipation of success gives strength to cope with any difficulties.
Track your progress
The key to motivation is understanding that you can do anything. And self-confidence will be given by recording your successes. We often do not believe in ourselves when we have a long way to go and it seems that the goal is unattainable. But, noticing the results already achieved, it is easier to continue moving forward, because you know for sure that you can handle everything!
Work in a calm environment
Your favorite TV show is playing in the background, your kids are running around, and you’re hunched over your laptop on a soft couch? If this is your case, or you regularly work in a similarly distracting environment, don’t be surprised that you want to put things off. There’s a time for work, and a comfortable workspace with a minimum of triggers. Focus — and you’ll get things done much faster.
Be realistic
Although the goal should be enticing and motivating, it is important that it is achievable, albeit over a long distance. Obviously impossible tasks demotivate, instill a feeling of helplessness and inadequacy.
Make your schedule flexible
When rigid planning starts to provoke anxiety, make plans flexible. Include only the most necessary things in the to-do list for a date, and in free periods of the day, do what seems more important at the moment. And sometimes, for a good feeling, it is better to take a walk in the nearest park than to do something from the unimportant and non-urgent list.
Celebrate the result
Habits allow you to implement a particular scenario without thinking. This means that, having made an effort to consolidate, you begin to do something useful automatically and do not remember about laziness at this time. One of the useful habits that everyone needs is to reward yourself for the results of your work. By the way, to use your time more rationally, make scrolling social networks, for example, a reward. Say, a quarter of an hour for each serious task. Isn’t that motivation?
