If you feel like you’ve been slacking off and want to change, I’ve listed a couple of tips on how you can stay motivated and be at the top of your game:
1. đđŋđ˛đŽđ¸ đŦđŧđđŋ đĒđŧđŋđ¸đšđŧđŽđą đ¨đŊ
Before you start working, allot a few minutes to manage your schedule and break your workloads into smaller pieces. Start with the easy things then move over to the more complicated tasks after.
2. đđđđŽđ¯đšđļđđĩ đŽ đđŧđŽđš
Just like breaking down your schedule into smaller pieces, establish a goal. What do you want to accomplish during the day or the week?
3. đđšđļđēđļđģđŽđđ˛ đđļđđđŋđŽđ°đđļđŧđģđ
One of the causes of slacking off is distractions so prevent yourself from getting sidetracked by eliminating distractions.
4. đđ˛đ đđŧđēđŗđŧđŋđđŽđ¯đšđ˛
Since you’ll be working long hours, make yourself comfortable. Get proper lighting and organize your desk. Sit comfortably and have a suitable chair.
5. đĨđ˛đđŽđŋđą đŦđŧđđŋđđ˛đšđŗ
Once you’re done for the day, treat yourself for that hard work. Perhaps get a dessert or a latte. Rewarding yourself after a long day helps condition your mind or create a positive reinforcement, making you less likely slack off.
