Stay Motivated

You know that you have to plan all you have to do carefully, have your calendars and diaries,
lists and memos in good order, etc. but do you have enough motivation to make the most of the
time you have? The tips given below might be helpful to you:
Think of the William James quote: "Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an
uncompleted task." Think how good you feel when you finish doing all the stuff on your to-do
list.
You should try to do the most important or the least attractive thing on your list first and get it out
of the way.
When you find yourself sitting at your desk doing something inane when you know you should
do something important, then don’t try to do either, but do something different which you enjoy
doing. You might not have got the important task done, but at least your time wasn’t wasted.
You wouldn’t have concentrated on the task anyway given the mood you had been in.
Don’t use any of the free time you get due to better time management to do even more work.
You should use whatever free time you get to do something you enjoy doing but didn’t get time
earlier to do.
When you accomplish something good, then reward yourself. Do not reward yourself for
wasteful work.
If you get bored with the same routine month after month, then make some changes in the
schedule.
When you are working at a particular task, then give it all your attention without thinking about
what else you have to do. You should give you attention to your to-do list only when the current
task is done.
You should make friends with people who are positive and will encourage you to do your work
the best you can and make the most of your time.You should fit all the things you like doing within your schedule – fun stuff will always enliven
your mind and make you do the important yet tedious tasks better. Try to schedule the fun
things in after you finish the to-do tasks.
Make some time for just yourself every day. You should always go on holidays and rest enough
to avid burnout.
When you find yourself doing unproductive things again, remind yourself that you will never be
able to get back the time you waste.
Eat healthily and sleep the adequate amount.
