Motivation can energize you and motivate you to accomplish your goal, but it doesn't always come when you need it. If you're struggling to start or complete a task, encourage yourself to keep going. A little pressure can also help, so ask a friend, family member or other group to supervise you to help hold you accountable. If you are working hard to fulfill your long-term plan, make sure you have clear and workable goals that will keep you motivated along the way.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Get excited

1. 

   Remind yourself of why you want to do something. Sometimes we need a little push to complete a task or project. Speak out loud or write down why you need to do something. Tell yourself about the benefits of the job you will do.
   • For example, you could say "I'm going to start jogging now to get in shape" or "I have to do this exercise to get a good grade."
   • Remind yourself of the consequences of procrastination. Encourage yourself with promises like "If I finish now, I can go home early today" or "If this is done, I can do something more interesting."
   • Create a vision board with pictures that represent the goals you want to achieve in life. It will serve as a reminder of the things you've always wanted.

2. 

   
   
   Divide the task into smaller steps. Long working hours can be daunting, but if you divide the time of the day into smaller chunks, your work may be easier to get done.Start with easy tasks that you can complete quickly to motivate. For example, instead of saying, "I have to work all morning," say, "I'll write this report for an hour, then go to the meeting at 11:00, and then it's lunch time."
   • Allocate time for each task or task on a calendar or calendar application. Paint in different colors for each task and timing. This way, your workday will be broken down into smaller and easier to handle pieces.

3. 

   
   
   Create fun at work. You will be afraid to embark on a job or activity if it frightens you. If this is the case, find a way to make the task more interesting. You can invite others to join you or challenge yourself in new ways. Changing your work routine is another way to get excited.
   • For example, if you want a more fit body but hate going to the gym, sign up for a class like kickboxing, Zumba, or barre.
   • If you are studying for exam preparation, you can compete with a friend to see who can answer the most correctly or solve the exercises fastest.

4. 

   
   
   Give yourself a reward when you have accomplished something. Treat yourself to a short break, a snack or a coffee latte, a massage, or get friends together to celebrate. This can help keep you excited and keep you motivated for the next step.

5. 

   Give yourself some time to rest to avoid exhaustion. While it's important to avoid distractions, you can go under work if you're too stressed out. Organize sporadic breaks throughout the day. You should also enjoy longer breaks on the weekends to recharge.
   • For example, you could take a 5-minute break after every hour you work to go to the bathroom or do some stretches.
   • Plan breaks in advance so you have something to look forward to. For example, you could say to yourself, "If I finish this report 2 hours before, I can take a break."
   • Avoid multitasking and don't let yourself get distracted by things like checking email and phone. These will only reduce your productivity.

6. 

   Tell yourself that you can get things done. When it comes to motivation, you are probably the worst critic. To motivate yourself to get to work on what to do, use positive affirmations. Remember that you will complete a task if you focus on it.
   • If you find yourself in negative thoughts about a task, force yourself to adjust with positive words. For example, if you find yourself thinking, “There are so many things to do today. Maybe I can't get it done, ”you can say,“ If I start now, I'll probably finish ahead of time. ”

Method 2 of 3: Maintain a sense of responsibility

1. 

   Find a companion that reminds you to be accountable. Your partner will be someone who keeps an eye on how hard you work towards your goal. Ask a friend, mentor or a colleague to be available to you as a supervisor.
   • Schedule meetings or calls for a clear deadline. This can give you extra motivation to meet your goals on time.
   • Let the person know about your work and ask them for their advice. Recommend them for honest and detailed comment.
   • Your companion may also send you reminders from time to time, such as "Remember to submit your proposal by the end of this week" or "Have you applied for funding?"

2. 

   Make a list of tasks. Keep this list somewhere visible, such as on your desktop or desktop. Each time you complete a task, cross out the item in the list. This is also a small incentive to help you stay motivated. Once everything is done, you should feel a great sense of happiness to move on to your next project.
   • There are plenty of apps to help you make to-do lists on your phone, such as Apple Reminders, Microsoft To-Do, and Google Tasks. You can also create reminders for yourself to stay on track with your plan toward your goal.
   • Use a daily to-do list to complete all day tasks. For larger projects, make a separate checklist that breaks down your short-term and long-term goals.

3. 

   Join a group that focuses on the same activity. This group can help you keep on track, and provide support, feedback and encouragement to help you move forward. You can search online for groups on social media or to community centers, libraries or cultural centers in the city.
   • Whether you're writing a novel or a dissertation, you can find a group of writers in your local university, library, cafe or bookstore.
   • Jogging, hiking or other sports groups are also great places for you to meet people and keep your fitness goals.
   • Study groups will help you study. Classmates can help you understand difficult topics, and it is more fun to study together.
   • If you want to master a new skill, take a class. Other practitioners can help keep you motivated as people learn together.

4. 

   Create a daily routine. Make a schedule that works for you, but should be regular day after day. Try to schedule one activity or task at the same time each day. Even if you aren't interested, a daily routine can help prepare you to complete tasks.
   • For example, if you want to create your own website, you could spend an hour every afternoon learning how to code.
   • Determine when you are most productive during the day. For example, if you do your best work in the morning, schedule the most difficult tasks early in the day.
   • Like it or not, you have to get everything on your schedule done. Even if you're not in a good mood, stick to your schedule.

5. 

   Determine in advance how to overcome the obstacles you will face. Expect problems and troubles before they happen. This will help you be ready to deal with the problem instead of letting them get in the way of your work.
   • If you get negative feedback on a project, you may feel discouraged. Find something to relax in. For example, you could go for a walk, doodle on paper, or call someone you like.
   • If your computer has a lot of documents and you need to write a report, you need to prepare the phone number of a nearby computer repairman or computer store. Find out where you can borrow or use public machines at the library. If unfortunately your computer has a real failure, you are ready to respond.

Method 3 of 3: Achieve long-term goals

1. 

   Define a specific and clear final goal. Sometimes it is difficult to motivate ourselves if we are still confused about what we want to achieve. Set a clear and realistic goal that you can accomplish.
   • For example, if you are currently in school, your ultimate goal might be to get into a certain university or become an intern.
   • If you want to set up your own business, choose the type of business you want. Want to sell a product, advise other companies or provide a service to the community?
   • Be specific when setting goals. For example, if you want to travel around the world, where would you first want to go? Do you like backpacking or luxury yacht? Do you want to see the world at the same time or do you want to split into several small trips?
   • Don't let your goals distract you from other important aspects of your life. Be clear about how much effort you should put into fulfilling each of your goals.

2. 

   Divide your goals into smaller steps. Once you know what your final destination is, set smaller milestones to complete all the way to your destination. Write down a series of steps toward your goal. This makes your goals much easier to accomplish, and thus you will complete each task.
   • For example, if you dream of owning a home, your small goals would be to save money, get good credit, get a mortgage and find a home in an area.
   • If you want to quit your job to sell crafts online, you may need to set up an online shop, make enough goods to sell and advertise your products.

3. 

   Find a role model that has previously met that goal. If you know someone else who has already achieved your goal, try to follow their example. Get their story to motivate you to keep going.
   • Your ideal type could be someone in real life, such as a family member, your professor, mentor, or boss. Your role model could also be a celebrity, such as a company leader or a scientist.
   • If you know the person, ask them how they are doing now. If they are famous, check out these interviews or read their autobiography to learn.

4. 

   Stick motivational quotes in a place that's easy to see. You can hang a poster on the wall in the office, put a note on the bathroom mirror or hang it on the refrigerator door. Whenever you need more motivation, you can stick with a positive or inspirational quote to help keep you going.
   • Keep the quote in place that is relevant to your goals. If you're looking to lose weight, keep it near a health scale or bathroom mirror. If you're trying to finish a big project at work, stick it in your drawer or on your computer.
   • Find quotes from books, web pages, and motivational videos. You can buy posters online or make your own with pen and paper.

5. 

   Visualize your goals or dreams. Sit back for a few minutes a day and imagine you've achieved your goal. Imagine you already own it, do it, have obtained it or are in that position. How do you feel? Use this energy to take the next step.
   • Visualize in great detail so the image is as clear as possible. Where are you? Doing? What are you wearing? What do you look like? Who is with you?
   • A vision board can help you reach your goals. Gather pictures of your goals or dreams. Paste it in a place you'll see it every day, like in the office or on the refrigerator door. This can motivate you little by little each day.
