the privilege over the years to share my unique strategies and techniques with

numerous professionals and helping them to land their dream job offers and so if

this is something that you're interested in working with me one-on-one so that

you can get your dream job then I will talk more about that at the end of this

video so you have a big project to work on at work or maybe you're not yet

working and you need to search and apply for jobs or the thing that you need to

do has nothing to do with work but instead you want to exercise more you

want to work out more whatever it may be whatever the task is no matter how big

or small you've been finding that you've been procrastinating because you're just

not feeling motivated and you just don't seem to have the energy to do the things

that you want to get done trust me I've been there

contrary to what you may think I am not always able to be super productive every

day I'm human too but luckily over the years I have picked

up on some tactics that have worked really well for me and hopefully will

work well for you too so that you can start to feel more motivated and get the

things that you need to do done tip number one plan your laziness ahead of

time when it comes to mapping out our schedules and planning out our calendars

more often than not logically what we tend to do is we fill up our calendars

and fill up our schedules with all the things that we need to do right well for

this tip I want you to do the opposite so what that means is instead of filling

out your schedule with all the things that you need to get done start off with

filling your schedule with your non-negotiable non work time for example

let's say that you know that every single day after 7:00 p.m. you want to

be able to turn your brain off and you want to spend

time or just have me time to yourself so that you can have dinner and wind down

before going to bed if that's the case you need to schedule that in first for

me personally I actually take time in the morning and in the evenings and I

personally schedule them as me time in the mornings I use that time to meditate

to do yoga to journal and really just get myself in the right mindset for the

day and then in the evenings I use that time to have dinner be with my husband

and relax wind down before going to bed this tactic is extremely powerful

because it forces you to get your work done so that you can meet your

non-negotiable non work time and in the end you're gonna be much more efficient

with your time because you'll know in the back of your mind that you have a

limited amount of time to do your work on to tip number two trust in divine

timing I know this might be a bit of a weird tip especially when we're talking

about how to motivate yourself what do you mean trust in divine timing what I

mean is that you need to know that if there is a certain project or task that

is meant for you or if there is a certain outcome that you're meant to

achieve such as achieving a new job offer that's going to be the right

perfect fit for you then you have to trust that if it's meant to happen for

you it will happen for you so what that does is it can help you to relax and

allow yourself to naturally feel motivated when you can trust that this

is the thing that you're meant to do and you're gonna feel the right motivation

at the right time then you can relax a little bit more and not cause that

anxiety to stir up within you when you don't have that anxiety what ends up

happening is that motivation that feeling of excitement and enthusiasm is

naturally going to stir up within you and you're gonna be able to accomplish

the task easily and efficiently tip number three cut out unnecessary tasks

or to dues this ties in with tip number one in order to truly feel motivated

you need to know that what you're doing is absolutely essential so my tip here

is all about prioritization now look at your list of tasks and things that you

have to do are there any tasks that you can

actually delegate or outsource maybe postpone for a little bit later on

or perhaps cross off entirely essentially you need to ask yourself

what do I need to focus on this week and make sure that it's done in this week

when looking at a task look at its importance the deadlines and the level

of urgency that's associated with it if it's not high on that priority list then

you can shove it aside and only work on those high-priority items

tip number four figure out your most productive time are you most productive

in the wee early morning hours or are you more productive in the evenings or

in the afternoons to be productive and motivated you need to understand your

body and how you function best so for example a lot of people are very

motivated in the early mornings to get things done whereas for me I find that

I'm more productive in the middle of the day after I've had my me time to myself

so between 10:00 and 3:00 p.m. I find I'm the most productive and so I choose

a lot of the tasks that I do to be within that time frame tip number five

change your work environment if you're someone who has the ability to work from

home and you work from home regularly sometimes working in your home can

actually be very difficult and that's because you have the comforts of your

couch your bed and overall it's your cozy lazy space so it can be hard to

feel motivated if you're in that sort of environment and for me someone who works

from home quite a bit I've had this issue as well so what I've found that

works is to change your work environment either go to a public library or a

coffee shop or just a public place where you can force yourself to just sit there

with your laptop and do nothing else but to work on your task

at hand like I said this is the trick that I've used time and time again to

get myself motivated and it works every single time usually I'll order my

favorite matcha green tea frappuccino I sit down at a nice table at Starbucks

and I am off to work and finally tip number six treat yourself when you've

done your work well be extra nice to yourself when you've accomplished your

work you want to practice this because it's going to encourage you it's going

to motivate you to continue to keep up this habit of getting your work done

focusing on the most high-priority items and feeling more efficient and

productive in your daily life so there you have it my six tips on how to stay
