Staying motivated at work is easier than you think when you 
know what to do.
1. Decide What You Must Achieve Today.
It is easy to get caught up with non urgent matters that 
you can either ignore completely or do at a later date.
All that clutter leaves you confused about what to do so 
you end up procrastinating.
You need to ask yourself:
What is of the utmost importance that I must complete today?
Define that specific goal and focus solely on that until 
you have achieved it.
Clarity is power. It allows you to operate in a peak state 
of concentration and will help to ensure you are at your 
best.
You will be amazed at how much you will get done and how 
successful you will feel when you FOCUS.
2. Break Down Complex Goals Into Manageable Steps
One of the biggest mistakes people make is the failure to 
take big projects and restructure them as a series of 
challenging but stimulating tasks.
Take any project and list the sequence of steps you need to 
follow. Make sure the steps are big enough to keep your 
interest and not so small that you feel bored by the 
prospect of moving ahead with the project.
It is very motivating to have a highly specific game plan 
that challenges you without leaving you overwhelmed.
Once you have this blueprint written down you can get 
started. 
And make sure to mark your progress with the time 
of completion as you work your way through the list. 
Tracking the time encourages you to make a game of getting 
things done properly and quickly.
3. Use Negative Pressure To Keep You On Target.
This is an unusual but highly effective tip.
Pick someone at work to check in on your progress during 
the day. Make sure this person has a positive outlook and 
that he or she is fully supportive of your goal to achieve 
more. Choose someone you want to impress with your 
abilities and productivity.
The secret is to use negative pressure to keep you on 
track. i.e. you want to dread the prospect of failure 
because you do not want to lose the approval of this person.
You will have moments during the day when you feel good 
about the progress you are making. At this point the 
natural reaction is to ease up.
You can deal with this by setting up the very real prospect 
of disappointing someone who believes in you. This desire 
to avoid embarrassment will drive you to give of your best.
Use these three tips each day and watch your productivity 
soar.
Motivation really is a question of strategy. When you know 
your personal motivation blueprint there is nothing you 
cannot do.
