November 28th, 2007 (5:00am) Leo Babauta 12 Comments

Let’s face it: there are times (days, weeks even) when we don’t feel like working. We just aren’t motivated, or we’re exhausted, and we just want to goof off or take a nap. Unfortunately, also means that you won’t get paid, and when the bills come in, it is hell to pay. Here are some basic tips to get you motivated again.

  • Work on something exciting.
  • Just do a little at a time.
  • Put a major project at the top of your to-do list.
  • Play a game.
  • Go for a walk.
  • Talk to someone.
  • Commit yourself to a deadline.

What is your favorite way to motivate yourself when you are feeling the blues?
