Sometimes i find myself lacking motivation where i hit a slump and i need to work myself out of it. You can tell from the long wait between my last post and this one. In this post i thought i’ll share you some of the things i do to help me overcome the boredom and get myself back into the action.
- Know yourself: As long as i know what I’m facing i feel it’s all under control. The chances are it’s not the first time and wont be the last but identifying it is the first step.
- Start simple: Easy steps and doing something small could be my start. I find going for a walk around the park give me enough energy to start something else (yeah like cleaning the house or finish a report).
- Learn something new: The more i learn the more confident i feel and it doesn’t only apply to Project management.
- Talk to people: I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by some interesting friends. We share some insights and ideas. One thing leads to another and before you know it am motivated to learn how to implement a new idea to a project or to try their suggestion in a solution am working on.
- Look ahead: Don’t just see the boring task in front of you, think of the long term benefit. The task in hand is one step closer to your goal. it will show that you can do well on things you don’t like that much and that is a success.
- Stay positive: It’s all in the attitude.
The most important thing to do is just get started. Once you start keep on going, don’t stop. Build the momentum.
Once you are done, have a break then jump back on.
