MOTIVATION

Motivation is key in the workplace.

You need to be motivated to fulfil your own role in order to feel like you’ve achieved something worthwhile.

A lack of motivation within your job can lead to negative feelings and a lack of desire for your job.

A lack of motivation within your job can lead to negative feelings and a lack of desire for your job.

Here is a guide on how to stay motivated:

If you’re having a particularly busy day at work, you can lose motivation just from the sheer amount of work that needs to be done.

In this case, write yourself a ‘to do’ list and tackle the smaller projects first.

Give yourself a break in between each project to refresh your mind and renew your motivation.

Treat yourself.

Plan ahead and tell yourself that you will do something nice once you’ve finished a project.

Whether that is going out for lunch or buying yourself something new.

Knowing that you can treat yourself once you’ve completed a project can be all the motivation that you need.

If you’re feeling bored at work or even overwhelmed with the amount of work you have to do, talk to your boss.

Ask to be given some more responsibilities if that’s what you want or ask for help managing your work.

It is likely that your boss will be willing to help you with your work load, whether that’s giving you more or less.

Find a motivational quote and stick it on your desk at work.

Read it whenever you need a little boost.

“Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it” - Charles Swindoll

Take this on board and remember when you next have a decision to make or a piece of work to complete that you are in control of the outcome. What is the best that you can make of the situation?
