Stop Thinking And Start Doing - Getting Motivated

By Ian Kelly

Do you ever have problems finding that motivation you need to get all your activities done for the day. Let's face it, most of us are very good at the planning aspect, we write out a list of tasks that we would like to accomplish for the day. You may have even broken them down into career or work tasks and personal tasks, perhaps you have gone even a step further and assigned priority next to each of the tasks but still you are not getting everything that you desire to complete.

There are I believe two reasons for this. The first is one that haunts the vast majority of us, we lack the motivation. The other is a little more subtle. We do not do the high value, often more arduous tasks first. These tasks are often the ones that will take the most time to accomplish, but will provide the largest reward once done. We push them aside to and complete the smaller but lesser tasks first. We do this to gain a sense of accomplishment. We can sit back at the end of the day and look at our tasks list and see that have a lot of ticks in the right place, but for some reason we do not feel a sense of accomplishment.

This is because we spend too much time on the tasks that matter the least and not enough on the ones, while larger and more difficult, will lead to the greater reward in the long run.

The other area is simply gaining the motivation to get in and start doing. I previously spoke about desire and it's key role in providing motivation. Ensure that you are working on the right desire and have the task that you set out specifically linked to that desire. Before starting to write out your tasks and again before you start on a specific task ask yourself: "How will accomplishing this task get me closer to that which I desire?" If you can see, or more to the point feel inside of you the positiveness of accomplishing this task you have really just started to kick off you motivation to get in and start and complete any task.

The key tie in your tasks and goals to your desire, once this is in place and you complete the task you will soon see that you are moving towards that which you desire, this will in turn build your motivation and before long you get to the end of the day will a great sense of purpose, direction, feel empowered and eager to wake up to the next day so you can again take a step to fulfilling your desires.

Magic stuff wouldn't you say?

To your success
