Finding Motivation

Do you have a huge to do list but you’re struggling to start even one task? Does everything seem too overwhelming so it is easier to do nothing? We can all suffer from times of procrastination, so sometimes you need to consider why you feel like that. Here are a few things to consider next time you find yourself avoiding a task and ways to find the motivation:

• What are you scared of? Ask yourself what happens if you don’t do it? If it means not getting a sale, damaging your brand reputation or affecting your finances then you might find the motivation you need.

• Are you putting it off because you don’t feel inspired – or you are waiting for inspiration to hit? That is a not a good enough excuse, as a brand you have to keep working and actively seek inspiration.

• Is it a particularly hard, or unpleasant task? What will make it easier? It is best to break down big jobs into much smaller tasks. Just spend 10 minutes on a task and see what you achieve in that time. Or get the most unpleasant task done first thing in the morning as then you will be able to enjoy the rest of your day.
