Productivity Motivation / / December 19, 2019
In fact, it is sometimes difficult to understand what is holding us back from productive tasks facing us. Particularly if these tasks are either unusual or tiresome. Eyes almost sticking together, and there is no motivation. So what keeps us from laziness or fatigue? Let's try to understand together with Ali Hale.
Ask yourself a few simple questions:
-
How long I work today?
If you have just sat down at the table after morning coffee and do nothing do not want to, then the answer is obvious - it is laziness and you need to accelerate.However, all is not as straightforward, if this morning after a ten-day working watch, you should not blame the body, on the contrary should take a day off and spend time recuperating. Even a couple of days at his own expense will be a much more effective and not only to make up for "lost", but also to do more than you expected.
And if you have worked for four hours without a break if you need prompt response? Relax. At least an hour.

How do I feel?
Understand what is behind the unwillingness to work now? If you will be boring part of the job, you can by pushing themselves to overcome laziness. The main thing - to start.Sometimes the reason is hidden a little deeper. Perhaps you are exhausted, tired or have succumbed to stress and you absolutely do not want to do anything until the end of days? Do not press down on yourself in this case - you need to escape and relax.
If the thought came to stop you in the middle of a task, take a look at your work schedule, perhaps you would be worth a little break to work on smaller pieces, alternating it with the rest.

What I feel after ten minutes?
If you are still not sure what is the cause of unwillingness to work, try the following recipe. Close the e-mail, ICQ and Twitter and other RSS-reader who is not related to the work and record the time or set the timer. Run for 10 minutes, trying his best. Now check out how you feel. If you are involved, then you have overcome your laziness, but if the work is still unbearable at the moment - the rest you just do not hurt.
