Do you like to start your day full of enthusiasm to tackle tasks, reply to emails, deal with clients, think about your personal and future projects, and handle the accumulated and postponed work that you keep putting off every day?
Here are some tips that can help you stay motivated from morning until the end of your day.
1- Don’t Finish the Work Completely:
What I mean here is not to finish your work entirely but to leave a part of it for the next day. This way, when you wake up in the morning, you’ll have something to start with immediately without needing to think or wait for creativity to strike. You’ll begin directly, feeling motivated, which will help you get into the work mode without any complications. Then, you can continue with the rest of your tasks that await you.
2- Organize Your Tasks and Work Steps:
Write down a list of all the tasks and duties you need to accomplish the next day, what you have completed, and what remains. You can also organize these tasks throughout the week and break them down into daily portions, or prioritize them according to importance and what needs to be done first. This step will help you organize your thoughts and prevent them from scattering, giving you the motivation to start without hesitation.
3- Start with What You Love and Don’t Finish It:
This step is similar to step number 1, but if there is a task you particularly enjoy, such as personal work or a creative project, and you have some ideas for it, it’s preferable to start your day with it. But wait… don’t finish it. Leave a part of it so you can use it to recharge your energy the next day or when you feel bored with the work you are currently doing.
4- Distance Yourself from Work:
When you wake up in the morning, you don’t have to start working immediately. Instead, distance yourself from the work environment and immerse yourself in a different atmosphere (watch TV, read a book, go through the daily newspapers, start with a light breakfast). These activities can help you motivate yourself before diving into your work tasks.
5- Balancing Breaks:
When you wake up and start your work, and if some of the previous steps don’t suit you, your work nature, or the accumulated pressures, you can divide your work into small tasks and take breaks in between, as follows:
• In the first hour: Work for 10 minutes and rest for 10 minutes.
• In the second hour: Work for 10 minutes and rest for 5 minutes.
• In the third hour: Work for 30 minutes and rest for 5 minutes.
And so on… until you take a break only when you feel tired.
Of course, the previous schedule isn’t a rule; it’s just a general model to understand the basic idea of morning breaks.
