Decide how you want your life to be. What do you need most in your life at this moment - energy, peace, quiet, tranquility, wisdom, spiritual growth?
Make a promise to yourself that you will achieve whatever you want, and then set about to make it happen.
4. Concentrate on what's most important and prioritize your task list (this should be done both at your job and at home).
A good method is to place each item on your "to do" list in its proper perspective by having three lists: "MUST Be Done," "Should Be Done," and "Nice Things To Do."
Once you place a value on each item you will quickly see that some things need not be done at all. In fact,
only time procrastination may pay off might be when everything on
"Nice Things To Do" list can all be marked off as unnecessary.
5. Don't be afraid to ask for help. The sheer volume of tasks in our daily lives is enough to make us want it to "just go away."
As a result we procrastinate, thus losing our motivation. It is not a sign of incompetence or inefficiency to admit you need help.
Let your co-workers or your supervisor at work know you need help. At home, even
smallest child in your family can do simple tasks.
Slow down, simplify, spend less, enjoy simple pleasures with your family that don't cost a cent, and your life may become more beautiful, happier and fulfilling.
Getting organized and ridding yourself of things that are unnecessary are
first steps of learning how to stay motivated until you succeed.
