how to get motivated
If you’ve ever found it difficult to get or stay on track, it’s possible that you simply weren’t motivated in the first place. And a lack of motivation leads to low productivity. This is because without a strong interest or drive to do whatever it is you’re doing, it’s hard to keep doing it. As motivation wanes, productivity falls. However, if you work on your self-discipline, you can become productive even if you don’t feel very inspired. Over time, this will help you get your life on track and run like clockwork.
Discipline is self-control or self-control. It is doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Discipline is what keeps your life from falling apart. After all, without it, you could get up at any time and be late for work every day. Or she could only do half of her chores before picking up the kids. And you’d overspend every month if you never stayed within a family budget. Whether you use it efficiently or not, we all have some discipline.
The trick is to take advantage of it to be more productive.
Goal setting is a way to build self-discipline and motivate yourself. But it can be too difficult to stay motivated for some. Many people find that they need some form of external encouragement to stay on track, and if that’s you, join a support network or whatever works for you. In the meantime, here are some tricks you can use to help you improve your motivation and self-discipline.
Focus on the reward, not the process.
With each task you do, take time to remind yourself why this task is crucial and what the end result will be. If you don’t complete all the steps necessary to achieve your goal, you will never reach your goal. So if you’re writing an eBook, remember that you can’t make any sales until it’s complete. Maybe you want to be a published author? You will be an author when your book is written, but not until you do. And each chapter written brings you closer to your goal. The same is true if you’re looking for the motivation to lose weight, change jobs, or anything else.
Stay disciplined. Do a little every day, and at the end of a week, month, or year, you’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come.
Look at the whole picture.
It definitely helps to break big tasks into small steps when you want to get motivated quickly. But remember that each task is just a small cog in a larger wheel. If you’re having a hard time getting inspired by the small task you’re working on right now, take a moment to step back and see where it fits into the big picture of what you’re trying to accomplish. For example, promoting your website may include many tasks that you personally find boring. If you can’t afford to outsource them, then focus on the bottom line; the increase in traffic flowing to your website.
Do the one thing you don’t want to do right now.
Like everything, discipline improves with practice. Get in the habit of doing what you have to do, when you have to do it. Be encouraged to do the things you have to do! As you complete each task, you will develop stronger and stronger self-discipline. Eventually, your discipline will be so good that your productivity will skyrocket, making you feel more motivated, boosting your self-esteem, and further improving your self-discipline.
You can do it. Productivity, motivation, self-discipline and self-esteem are closely linked. Work on your discipline and your motivation and everything else will follow.
