There must be one reason why many people often stop a project or completing their task, whether it be small or large task, at certain points. Maybe they feel the task is very difficult to accumulate or to be done so that they are frustrated and stressed. Finally they stopped doing it or at least they think about quitting.
When they are frustrated, will automatically create a barrier in themselves that cause their motivation to continue with the work uninterrupted. Their enthusiasm was high as they do the job the first time will go down very dramatically and the chances of them stopping in the middle of the road to complete the task is enormous.
Is that usually they often do in such times?
They will walk with dragging feet, making coffee and when you meet with someone who is 'right', they will spend a few minutes to talk one-way, complaining about the project or task that they were working. Perhaps unconsciously you've been there.
When they had finished complaining, they were soon back on the job and think with great doubt and hate, how they can accomplish their work is.
Instead of falling on the state you are even more difficult and increase your frustration, I'll try to share 5 ways how you stay productive and motivated to finish what you started and excited about what you do:
1. Break your tasks into smaller parts
You only need to divide your tasks (break down) into parts of smaller to be more restrained. For example: you have a personal target to open a business. If the thought of you just open a place of business immediately, then you can-it can be frustrating in the middle of the road. You have to do is divide your tasks into tasks that are smaller, such as site surveys, looking for suppliers, administering licensing, find employees, buying equipment and doing business promotion activities. Does not seem to be easier?
By dividing your tasks into tasks that are smaller, will make your work also becomes boring. When you successfully complete one small task, you will feel satisfied and happy. Psychologically this is a valuable capital to step up to the next small task.
But before you proceed to the next task, a good idea to reward yourself, eg buy a cup of Starbucks coffee or anything that can spoil you to celebrate the accomplishments you have done.
When the celebration ended, return to your job and start doing your next small task. I'm sure your current mood will be very different. You will be more productive and more motivated to work. On the one hand you will try to find again the next awards.
2. Take advantage of snowball effect
Try to find a part of your job is the most fun and start from there. You will easily and quickly finish the job. Maybe you've heard work exam tips: start with the obvious first, leave the past that are difficult questions. If you only dwell on the difficult question, you will be stressed and running out of time, while there are still many questions that have not been done. This same principle was used in completing a task or project you are.
When you are finished working on a fun part of the task, you unconsciously been a step forward towards the completion of your task or project. This of course will increase your confidence and your motivation to complete the next task is more difficult. When you successfully re-completed, self-confidence you are getting high again. This is called the snowball effect.
3. Avoid doing many tasks at once
Some people have wanted to quickly finish the job properties. This trait is actually good, but that is not good is if it is practiced by performing multiple tasks simultaneously. I also had rather do less good habits like this. Finally, there is no work gets done, it takes a longer time. Flavor-it's even superman could not complete his duties at once.
Focus on what is out there in front of your eyes. Complete your tasks one by one. I guarantee you will be more productive, your motivation level will continue to rise (as I've mentioned in point 1 and 2), and you will get the job done more quickly.
4. Relax and have fun
There was a time when your motivation down and you feel excited. Maybe you have gone through the long days and tiresome, or a very heavy task remaining to be resolved and time-consuming that very much. You are not robots, so I strongly encourage you to leave work temporarily.
Do these things are fun, like watching movies, going to a favorite restaurant, chatting, or get together with your friends.
The goal here is to distract you from your duties as well as reduce stress / frustration you feel. So when you do things that are fun, do not think about the tasks that have not been resolved. Completely forget about total! When you return to your duties, I am sure you will be more relaxed, refreshed and motivated to continue.
5. Rest for a moment
Rest again? Yes, but this time it was a short break. After you have worked for 40-45 minutes, take a mild break for 3-5 minutes. Recommended that you slightly away from your work area.
The study said that after you work for 40-45 minutes, your brain tends to get tired or slow down. Conditions may not allow you to postpone or abandon the job. But the point is when you feel very tired or you are not able to focus again, rest for a moment. Stretch, drink a glass of water, or take a walk for fresh air. You will get extra energy in an instant, so you will be motivated and eager to resume your work.
Make it a part of your life. If you can do it consistently, I think you will be more productive, more enthusiastic, more motivated and have a high sense of self satisfaction.
