When you don’t feel like doing anything but still don’t want to waste time, do you ever find yourself in that situation? Even when you have nothing specific to do, it can be frustrating to feel unproductive, which is a common problem. Here are some suggestions to help you stay productive when you lack motivation.
1) Create a to-do list. Making a to-do list can help you get going, even if you don’t feel like doing anything. Even small tasks like folding laundry or doing the dishes should be listed on your list of things to do. You’ll be able to see what needs to be done and begin crossing things off one by one if you have a list.
2) Start a timer. Set a timer for a short period of time, such as 10 or 15 minutes, if you’re lacking motivation. Work on one item from your to-do list during that time. Take a break after the timer goes off, then restart it for another 10 or 15 minutes. It can help tasks feel more manageable and less overwhelming if they are divided into smaller portions.
3) Eliminate all Distractions. Even when you’re motivated, distractions can make it difficult to concentrate. Eliminating distractions can help you get started if you’re feeling unmotivated. Close any unnecessary tabs on your computer, turn off your phone or place it in another room, and make a quiet space free of background noise.
4) Look for motivation. Sometimes all you need to get going is a little inspiration. Find inspiring sayings, read a book or article on a subject that interests you, or watch a TED talk. Find a source of inspiration and motivation to get going.
5) Start moving. Exercise can help you feel more energized and happier. Going for a walk, practicing yoga, or engaging in any other physical activity can help you feel more motivated and productive even when you don’t feel like doing anything.
6) Have a rest. Taking a break can be exactly what you need to recharge if you’re feeling overburdened or exhausted. Read a book, watch a movie, or take a nap. Occasionally taking a break can help you return to your work feeling revitalized and motivated.
The bottom line is that while feeling unmotivated is a common issue, there are many things you can do to prevent wasting time when you have nothing to do. You can increase your productivity and feel more motivated to complete your tasks by creating a to-do list, setting a timer, eliminating distractions, finding inspiration, moving around, or taking a break.
