Comments on: Five Steps to Get Yourself in a Mood to Work http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/04/04/five-steps-to-productive-mood/ Rebooting the workforce Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:53:31 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Salah http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/04/04/five-steps-to-productive-mood/#comment-320924 Salah Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:18:20 +0000 http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/04/04/a-five-step-process-to-put-yourself-in-the-mood-to-work/#comment-320924 Very useful but I beleive there must be some attention to what actually is the cause of the lack of motivation or the reasons behind the need for the good work-mood.. <b>Some of these would be:</b> - Having certain worries and concerns. For example, for some people to feel that deadline is closing and nothing yet is finished. The timer thing could magnify this concern for these people. - Not beleiving in the work to be done, or feeling that it's not interesting. - Having a blury plan or no clear target which makes the work seem very difficult or unpleasant. It happens also if the work is not broken down into smaller units/goals. - Having a subliminal disturbance (Bad noise, wrong kind of music, surrounding bad-mooded people, disturbing views or annoying wall-pictures..etc - Feeling guilt of overdue tasks, unhappy customers, incomplete job or any thing related to the work that may cause some level of guilt. That of-course includes feeling guilt of not spending time with family cuz of work. - Tending to be perfect: perfectionists usually have difficult time getting in the mood to work because everthing has to be perfect! That also applys to everyone of us to some degree. I wrote these ideas of a personal experience, and I thought someone would find them useful.. because when one knows what is causing the bad-mood it would be easier to find the solution.

It has lots of customization options and was initially intended to be a break timer for working at a computer too long, but it can be used for other things, I imagine. http://www.scirocco.ca/takeabreak.html A good timer for taking breaks is software called Take-a-Break.

I have found that to get the motivation to get started that it starts with the list of what you want to get done. Then you can create the plan on how you will get every thing done.
