5 Ways To Keep Yourself Motivated At Work by VirtueDigest: 3:50pm On Nov 25, 2016
Being self-motivated is very important to excellent delivery at work. There could be many factors that weigh one down or discouragements that tend to undercut one’s productivity at work, but as long as you are the self-motivated type you will keep moving ahead. Being self-motivated is also a way to break out of boredom and monotony that sometimes set in on the job.

Commence the day with the ‘hardest’ task

It is always better to start the day with the most pressing or the hardest tasks. Usually in the morning people have renewed energy, fresh ideas and are ready to take on the day’s task. This might be the best time to tackle that hydra-headed task, you’ll be surprised how fresh ideas and new inspiration will help you solve the problem fast instead of leaving it off to almost closing time.

Keep your focus on progress and promotion

When you keep your focus on making progress, being promoted and how you can rise on the career ladder, you are more likely to be motivated. The drive to rise to a higher position or platform will help keep you going and help approach your job with gusto.

Have an optimistic perspective

Have a positive attitude about your job; this will help to reinvigorate you always. Being negative and having a complaining or grumbling attitude will only drain your energy and wear you out. Always have a can-do spirit about your job; believe you can tackle any challenges, solve any problems, proffer grand solutions. Avoid being in the negative; never say you can’t do something; instead give it some thought and consideration, with time you could come up with the solution.

Give yourself some commendation

In a bid to meet targets, goals, don’t be too hard on yourself, that in itself could weigh you down. You could give yourself some rewards as you achieve major and even minor milestones. As you meet targets, goals, deadlines etc, reward yourself, this helps to keep you motivated.

Interact with people

When you interact with people, of course, the right people, you get inspired. As they share their success stories, the challenges and disappointments they encountered, you will be encouraged and may even see some ideas to apply to your case. ‘A tree doesn’t make a forest’ and ‘no man is an island’. These sayings are true. People to interact with include colleagues; friends, family etc.

Keep prospering at your job and career.

Who else wants to make it BIG LEGITIMATELY without having to do ANY hardwork?

I am a professional ghostwriter who will like to recruit other writers into my team.

With me, you will get paid handsomely for your writing talent.

You will be required to write original website and ebook contents.

I can guarantee you constant jobs, which means the only limit to the amount you can make in a week is what you decide to earn!

Want to make 50k weekly, 100k weekly, or 200k? I say it all depends on you!

You will be paid per 1000 words piece of writing.

So, for example, if you are able to write 5000 words ebook in 2 days, multiply 5 by the amount you would charge to write 1000 words and that gives you your income for 2 days.

All you have to be is an EXCELLENT writer. Your writing must be cohesive and free of grammatical errors.

Ready grab your first job? CONTACT me IMMEDIATELY at: mavenwriter02@gmail.com

P.S. Only those who contact me through this email will be responded to. Thanks!
