feeling lazy? unmotivated? ➡️ read thi

these are the 7 tactics i use to get motivated & get going on those days when i JUST don’t want to!! usually even just one of these will get me going 🫶

1️⃣ 5 MINUTE RULE

(the hardest part of a task is getting started)

1. set a timer for 5 minutes

2. work on the task you've put off

3. after 5 minutes, you can stop (if you want)

90% of the time, the momentum of starting is enough to keep you going.

2️⃣ LIMITS ON LEARNING TIME

(excessive learning becomes procrastination)

Growth: learn -> apply --> learn --> apply

Procrastination: learn --> learn --> learn --> learn

for each hour studying, spend an hour applying

3️⃣ ACTION LEADS TO MOTIVATION

many people think it goes like this:

motivation -> action

when in reality, it's more like this:

small action -> motivation -> more action

4️⃣ 2 MINUTE RULE

if something takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.

don’t let some mundane task gnaw at the back of your mind for weeks!

5️⃣ EAT THE FROG

do the hardest task of the day first

get that weight off

the rest of the day will seem easy in comparison!

6️⃣ REMOVE DIGITAL CLUTTER

being surrounded by digital distractions gives you more excuses to procrastinate

- phone in airplane mode/dnd

- utilize focus modes on phone

- open tabs are relevant to the current task

7️⃣ REMOVE PHYSICAL CLUTTER

a cluttered environment = cluttered mind

before you sit down to work, get your surroundings in order. this will allow you to laser focus on the task at hand!

i hope this helps!!
