Motivation is hard, But regret is more painful. It can be hard to get ourselves going on our work, especially on those days that we may feel more burned out.
GOALS!
Goals that are reasonable. Hard but not too hard. Will help motivate you to stay on track.
You need to make sure you feel like you are getting somewhere, This is why many of us don't pursue our longer-term goals, Because they require years of baby steps that we may overlook and see as unimportant.
Rewards
Reward yourself for hard or tedious tasks. Whether you reward yourself with a little TV or a hike. Find something that you enjoy that is preferably healthy too, So you get maximum benefits from your work and your rewards.
You will be less likely to procrastinate when you know you'll be getting some nice reward for your efforts.
Don't Overwork Yourself
Tired? Put your stuff away and sleep. Get yourself something to eat when you are hungry. It's important to take care of yourself when you are working hard.
So many people think they can skip it, But the reality is they aren't as motivated in the end. Taking care of yourself keeps your motivation up so you can easily keep going.
Just because you worked more hours, Doesn't mean you got more done. We often will fill the allocated time for each task. And when we overwork ourselves, We often slow down, and it takes longer to do each job.
