How to Motivate Yourself at Work

Motivation at work

Motivation is rather elusive, isn’t it? Some days you feel it and other days you can't achieve no matter how hard you try. You keep on staring at your computer screen, willing to do work but you don't have that motivation which makes you do it. Instead, your brain is full of other stuff which in fact makes you uninspired and you have no idea how to get the motivation.
Read on for some tips to get the motivation and the energy to make it happen at work.

Don't think about it as Hard work
There is only one way for me to motivate myself about it: I don't think it as a hard work rather focusing on the moment when it will be done. I just think about the feeling to have it done.

Divide and Conquer
I hope you have heard about this phrase: Divide and Conquer, haven't you? if yes,  have you applied it to motivation? if you know the picture then it would be a piece of a cake to place the blocks and to win the game, isn't it? So rather than focusing on a large and daring goal, divide it into chunks and break the big goal into ideas which could be easily digested.

Don't pay attention to diversions
You should look carefully at your to-do list and shave off anything which is just a diversion or unnecessary for you to do. It won't be best to end up on oppositely to what you have started for at the first place.

Have little breaks
You should have little breaks in order to refresh your mind.you must have your meals because with an empty stomach you won't be able to think fast and work efficiently. Within break, you should take fresh air, relax and calm your mind. Only then you will be able to complete your work and think on the solution if facing any obstacle.

Make it Happen
For me, to get motivated and to start doing something is to just do it(sounds banal, but it works). As soon as you make a decision to do the thing, just jump into it, do it by ignoring all the other stuff and suppressing all other thoughts. This way you would be able to complete your task and would make it happen.

Appreciate yourself & celebrate the win
The feeling after completing your task is very strong, makes you happier and motivated for the next tasks. You should celebrate that feeling of accomplishment which makes you think that you need more wins in life. You shouldn't discount those little wins. You should appreciate yourself on these wins, which eventually leads you to the motivation for the next goal.
