Do you ever nd that, on some days, you possess zero to no motivation? You wish you had that energetic,
exciting pull to hop up and ef ciently get everything done, yet you feel. . . nothing?
If so, fret not— you’re not alone.
In fact, I lose my motivation from time to time, as well. My lack of motivation arises from either dif culty in
work, my diabetes going out of control, or even from living in the super relaxed atmosphere of Cyprus (which
has de nitely been an obstacle for me since moving here; this sometimes makes me miss the hectic life that is
a smoggy megapolis).
Well, last week I was suddenly hit by a ruthless combination of all three motivation-sucking scenarios.
Fortunately, over 9 years of working as a freelancer have well-tempered me to easily regain my work
motivation, and has trained my productivity to never depend on my mood.
Since most of us experience these phases of low motivation, I thought I would share with you some of the best
tricks I have used over the years to quickly snap back into my fully-motivated self.

Excellent tips, Ievgeniia! Well worth featuring on our home page I can’t emphasize
enough the importance of starting your day slowly. The new day should NOT start with you
anxiously reaching out to your phone to see new messages and emails.
Take a shower, go to the gym, go for a run – anything that helps you clear your head before a
great day ahead.

Wonderful tips! I happen to experience drops in motivation frequently and have put into
practice almost each one of these in at least one occasion. One should try and learn not to
fall into the same negative patterns over and over again, but… oh well, let’s go for a holiday
instead

Great tips Ievgeniia. I totally agree that writing things down helps you nd out more about
your schedule. I do this every weekend to know how much work do I have and how much free
time I can enjoy or use for other tasks.
