In our daily life we engage in numerous tasks. Some of them are extremely exciting to do
while others can be really boring. However, we cannot skip the boring tasks as they form an
integral part of our daily activities. So how do we get ourselves to do what we just do not
feel like doing? Here are some helpful ways:
1) Think of how you will feel when you get done with the task: Instead of focusing on
the process of getting the task done bring your mind to the feeling of what it will feel
like once the task is completed. It will surely be one of feeling relieved or
accomplished or complete. This will help you get motivated and give you reason to
get the task complete immediately.
2) Do not overthink, just get going: When you have several tasks at hand, do not sit
down thinking of each of them. Try and not give each task too much of thought.
Instead just get going immediately and watch how you will immediately put yourself
in momentum to get it done.
3) Set a time to do these tasks each day: Everyday set a time to work on these tasks
that seem boring. Set out 30 minutes of your time to indulge in such work. Set a
timer for 30 minutes and stop doing the task once the allotted time is over.
However, if you’d like to continue and finish off you can do so.
4) Use distractions: There are several ways to distract your mind while doing these
tasks. You could play music, listen to the radio, listen to an audio book or even watch
an episode of your favourite series. This way the focus of your mind will be on the
distraction and not on that boring task.
5) Reward yourself: Reward yourself with something small every time you get done
with a very boring task. You could get a massage, eat a chocolate or an ice cream, or
take a swim. Do something interesting every time you get done with a boring task.
This way you motivate yourself to do more of it.
