How to stay motivated

Section 5 : Use processes to stay on task

Motivation is cyclical. Sometimes you’re on fire with enthusiasm, while other times, situations sap your energy and make it hard to focus. While you’re working to rally, you can use processes to keep yourself moving forward.

Try setting a work schedule that starts and ends at specific times. Designate productive time blocks throughout your day and stick to that schedule whether you’re feeling up to it or not. For some people, the simple ritual of adhering to a schedule is enough to push motivation levels back into the green.
