79: 10 Strategies to Boost Motivation and STOP Procrastinating

Sometimes we would do almost anything else to avoid starting our next project at work! In our distraction-filled world it’s hard to stay motivated, especially if you’re a busy professional or entrepreneur. Find out how to boost your motivation on those days when you didn’t get out of bed ready to go!

When I set my own deadlines it can be easy to procrastinate, and that’s because our brain isn’t set to focus on the long game - it wants rewards, and our brain wants them now! With no stress and pressure, your brain isn’t motivated to work. With too much, it’s overwhelming, and your brain doesn’t want to work. You need the right amount of stress and pressure to keep your motivation and your work going at a steady pace to finish on your deadline.

Listen in to discover how you can break down your big goal into smaller tasks, how to take small steps to boost your motivation over time, and why getting outside for fresh air with physical activity can give your motivation a big boost.
