It simply happens to everyone… we get bored of our everyday routine and we feel like not doing anything. Going through such a period in life is normal. The day seems to stretch itself and be longer than usual. But how do you go about to motivate yourself and get back that momentum that you used to have?

During such periods, instead of trying to force yourself in getting things done, I suggest that you be very selective in what you do. You should choose one item that you feel like doing but which has quite a high priority. The most important thing is that you feel like doing it. Make yourself think that the task that you have selected is the only thing that you aim to achieve that day. With that in mind you will get motivated to trash the task away so that you have the rest of the day off. From my experience, I can tell that after you finish off the task you will spend something like 10 to 20 minutes admiring the fact that you managed to break the chain and started moving again. Telling the truth, it is interesting that the above technique really works. What seems to be very difficult to get past, is so easy to beat with the right technique.I manage to get past tough periods of my life where I feel very bored and uninspired with the above technique. I would like to hear what you think of it. Have you ever tried it? Did it work? If not, what works for you?
