When there is no desire to perform certain tasks, it is important to know how to force yourself to act. Self-motivation, which includes 6 basic motivational techniques, helps best in this.
Instructions
Step 1
First, describe what needs to be done. Desire should not be blurred, it should be complete and have a specific result.
Step 2
Imagine the future result. Close your eyes and replay events in your mind that will help you achieve your desired goal. This technique will help formulate the chain of actions necessary to implement the plan.
Step 3
Remember how it all began. Think about how much you've accomplished on the road to success. In general, this exercise is very similar to the previous one, only now you imagine not future, but past successes. This technique will allow you to see how much has been achieved in this particular case.
Step 4
Write on a piece of paper a list of all the steps you need to take to get the result. Then, on a new sheet, break each step into several more. You need to divide the steps so that each of the items on the list corresponds to a simple action that can be performed continuously for 1-2 hours. In addition to the fact that this technique splits a complex task into several simple ones, it also performs an important psychological task in self-motivation. Namely, the specification of the goal. It is known that the human brain does not perceive abstract tasks, so drawing up a plan will help you get closer to fulfilling your plans faster.
Step 5
Set a due date for each item on the list of tasks. Compliance with this technique is mandatory, since without an established time frame, the case will be constantly postponed until later. There is a main rule in timing: the set time frame must be multiplied by 2. This is explained by the fact that human nature tends to constantly exaggerate its own strength. Therefore, it is not always possible to accurately calculate the time to complete the task. It is for this reason that the "rule of multiplying the terms by 2" was developed.
Step 6
Start to act according to the developed plan. Each microtask must be performed without interruption, pauses can only be made between tasks. Be sure to cross the completed action off the list. It is important to bring each action to the end, only in this case the achievement of the desired is guaranteed.
