We all have those days where we wake up and we'd just rather... not.
You are tired, it feels like you're making no progress on your goals.
But you typically find some way to get in the right mindset.
This technique is for the days you can't.
This is when you can't be bothered to do anything else.
Or don't want to, etc.
Here it is in four easy to follow steps:
Further breakdown:
Take five deep breaths
This is a technique found in The Willpower Instinct, which supposedly increases the amount of willpower you have to work with.
Not sure why it works, but it does.
Decide on your goal
The goal you are working toward needs to be clearly defined. You not only want to have a direction, but you want a goal.
A goal works best if you follow the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely) paradigm.
Write out an action list
This is the game changer. You essentially write out actions that could be performed to achieve the desired goal.
But often-times when we need to plan out what to do, it takes too much willpower and we end up getting frustrated.
So my proposal is for you to distance yourself from your problems / goals.
Imagine it is someone else asking you how to fix the problem, or someone else working toward a goal.
What steps would you tell them to take?
In a nutshell: Distance yourself from the problem, solve the problem, execute the solution.
Thanks for reading to the end, let me know if this technique has helped you in the replies.
