If you struggle with procrastination...this post is for you!...and you may need to share it with a friend.
Motivation
is essential to getting things done. Being able to motivate yourself is
an essential discipline in being effective at anything you. This does
impact your professionalism, it’s critical in what I call professional
maturity to have the ability to get results.
And hey - if you motivate yourself, your manager won’t have to and what manager wouldn’t want that!
Here’s a great tip to motivate yourself, especially when you have to do things you don’t find particularly pleasurable.
Here’s the tip: TAKE the ONE MINUTE CHALLENGE.
What’s
that….it’s a way to jump start your energy (and if 1 minute sounds too
long for those who are really draggin’…make it 30 secs. instead.)
Here’s how it works:
Decide
what you want to do, how you want to get started or what you would like
to work on first, then use a timer – preferably one that makes noise,
like a kitchen timer and set it for one min….then GO!
You’ll here the buzz which is an auditory motivator and it starts to stir the blood a bit and you’ll start to get some focus.
You
know the cool thing is, you’ll realize how much YOU CAN GET DONE in one
minute…or even 30 seconds and your motivation has been jump started.
You
know what else I discovered?... once I get started I actually have a
hard time stopping because what seemed overwhelming I realize I can jump
into in just a very short period of time.
Recommended Action: Take the One Minute Challenge...now!
Additional Tip: Managers - this is a great tool to jump start collective team productivity as well.
