Question of the day:

How do you stay motivated when it seems like most of the decisions you make are wrong?

What a great question - and so true! It is almost impossible to keep your motivation when you are working on the wrong project. Let’s talk about making the right decisions and choices so your work will be inspiring and productive.

In order to make good choices there are several key things you must know:

1. Know your goals. When you are working on something that you are passionate about your motivation flows from within. You are energized just thinking about your work. There are, of course, times of immense enthusiasm and then there are times that you must work on building your enthusiasm. You do this by reviewing your goals. When you wake up in the morning, do you have that feeling of excitement and anticipation to get to work? Find your passion and find your motivation.

2. Productive return. Do you know what task you must complete to give you your greatest return? Always work on the most important tasks. Delegate the rest.

3. Time Management. Once you have established the best tasks to work on then you must manage your time well. Set a target for the amount of time you will work on each project. Have a good outline of the steps it will take to complete each project. Follow the steps to keep you on track. Discover the joy of accomplishment as you watch the tasks gradually disappearing from your “To Do” list.

Follow these steps for making good decisions about the tasks you need to complete and enjoy the rewards and the motivation.
