Get Ahead in Tough Times
Peter Murphy

In hard times it can be difficult to stay positive. You may even have a lot of days when you think "why bother?" or what?s the point?"

When we have so much bad news coming at us both on TV and online 24 hours a day it is almost no wonder that we get discouraged and distracted so easily.

We Still Need Completion

Staying motivated enough to be able to see things through to completion is something that is needed more and more at times like this. Otherwise the constant negative messages will make us want to simply give up.

How To Stay Motivated And Beat Distractions

1. Figure out what it is that stops you.

Why are you constantly flitting from one thing to another? Do you just lose interest? Are you too busy? Friends come over to see you - what is it?

Become aware of how you put off doing what matters. Then, make small changes to how you structure your day to eliminate these productivity vampires.

2. Choose the important things in your life.

After you decide what is distracting you, you then can start to look for ways to stop letting those things interfere. Select some goals and get more focused on these things.

Take a few moments throughout the day to refocus - to remind yourself what your goals are and why you want to achieve them. Think more about the important activities and block out the lesser tasks until later.

3. Learn to say no.

Some activities just have no real value, or are merely time wasters. Try to eliminate these things and stay focused on your goals. Create more time to accomplish your goals by cutting out some things that have lesser values than your goals.

You can be diplomatic and say no. You have every right to give priority to your objectives without taking on the problems of everyone else in your life.

4. Be more goal conscious.

Put your goals where you can see them everyday - on your bedroom, or bathroom mirror. Then as you go through our day, they will stick with you more.

These little reminders are sometimes all you need to stay on track. A few practical changes can make a big difference to how well you stay motivated all day long.

These tips will help you if you are willing to start with number one and see it to completion.

Start small if you like and as your confidence grows build up to bigger goals. Remember to make this a daily habit and you will be able to keep on going even at times when you face setbacks.

You will finally overcome procrastination.

Procrastination is of no use to you in your quest to fulfill your dreams.

Lose those old habits and replace them with habits that lead to self-motivation and control over your life.

Now, you know what to do. The big question is how do you find the inspiration to begin and how do you stay motivated over time despite setbacks?

You already know what procrastination and low motivation is costing you. And you know deep down that nothing is going to change for the better until you do.
