It happens that it’s not at all worth pushing yourself to do an important thing. Whatever it is, simple or complex, the work does not go on, and that’s all. There is no desire to do this, and in no way can I force myself. All the time you are distracted by something, there is no motivation to get to work, there is not enough of some kind of internal impulse. How to make yourself start doing useful things?
Instruction manual
one
Make a list of what needs to be done. If some important things need to be done the other day, plan them for a specific time. It happens that right now you are not doing something that is necessary. Write a to-do list on paper and place next to it. Now start taking turns doing one thing after another. As soon as something is ready, cross out. This will bring appreciable moral satisfaction, because you are doing your duty. Finished things spur you on and give you strength for further accomplishments.

Too many things that you put aside in the near future can create the illusion of impossible duties of enormous and scale, although in reality they are quite simple tasks. Spread each big business that causes you fear because of your size, into several sub-items, each of which will be easy for you to complete. The most important thing is that you feel psychological comfort when thinking about each item of a big task. Any stage of separation should be characterized by some partial completeness of the common cause, and have its own logical end.

If you still can’t get yourself to consistently do things from the list, then pick up this sheet of paper again. Now, next to each case, write what exactly good things await you after you finish. Suppose you need to run a report - at the end of it you have the right to rely on approval from your superiors or simply on relief from the fact that this task no longer hangs over you like a sword of Damocles. If things need to be done urgently, but you cannot come up with pleasant consequences from them in the near future (for example, benefits are expected only in the future), then introduce a reward system.

Indulge in a sports excitement. Tune in to what you need to overcome difficulties. Cheer up, drink coffee, and to the cause! You can use your favorite music that inspires you, or other tricks that enhance your performance. The most important thing for you now is to get together and enter the competition with laziness. Think of the money you get for your work, the people who will benefit from your work, and that you won’t succeed if you don’t perform important tasks.

Do not forget to relax. It is much better to spend enough time on rest, and then quickly solve the tasks, than to do everything slowly, and at the same time not have time to relax. Only those people who have a good rest do a good job. Remember this rule and follow it. Do not forget about sports. If your body is not in good shape, then no one will be able to achieve energetic actions from you.
