These 30 Motivational Quotes For The Week Will Keep Up Your Work Productivity!

Work getting you down? We’ve all been there, and it’s only human to be disheartened and demotivated with work-life every once in a while. While building a career is extremely important, so is prioritising mental health as it can directly influence how we analyse and perform. 

And nowadays, when our career is always at the top of our concerns, paying attention to our mental health is integral to keep up our productivity in the office. Furthermore, mental health plays a huge role in our ability to organise and pursue personal accomplishments through a stressful week of work.

Some Tips To Help You Remotivate Yourself During Stressful Times

If you’ve been feeling out of sync with your work lately, there’s nothing to feel ashamed about! Keeping up with everyday work (on top of personal obligations) can be stressful, and it's quite normal to be grumpy about it. As long as you’re able to get your groove back, a short period of work-life blues is normal. To help you with the process, here are some essential tips to help you motivate yourself to resume working. 

1) Create a routine for your day

Workloads can often be daunting, and without proper organisation, they can add to your plight. Proper management can help you free up time to commit to your work, and also accomplish your tasks with precision. To make your workload more manageable, you can start by creating a routine for your day that allows you to designate sufficient time required to get each task done, without compromising on taking some time to breathe.

2) Take a short break

You can squeeze in a short breather in between work to relieve some stress from grinding for long hours. Not only does it allow you a change of pace, but it also lends you a fresher perspective before resuming work. From getting a refreshing drink to having a quick chat with your colleagues, this short break can be utilised for indulging in anything but work! 

3) Break your task into smaller steps

Some tasks can be too overwhelming to start with. However, breaking your task into smaller steps can be helpful in maintaining stability, and getting your work done on time. This method also lets you approach the task through smaller, attainable goals which can be easily accomplished. Not only does this boost your confidence, but it also reduces the chances of making any critical error. Don’t forget to celebrate each time you complete a mini task! 

4) Take care of yourself

Stressful work-life can tire you out quickly. Therefore, to be able to work optimally, you must first take care of yourself. This includes good eating habits, proper hydration, and sufficient rest. When it comes to your eating habits, you must have a well-balanced diet consisting of adequate protein and green, leafy vegetables. It’s also beneficial to cut down on your intake of caffeine and complex sugars, such as those contained in soda and candies.

Like food, sufficient rest also plays an effective role in keeping your body and mind in sound condition. As an adult, an individual requires 7-9 hours of sleep to be able to function. Other than looking after your body, you should also pay attention to yourself by taking care of your mind, by listening to relaxing music or doing a quick meditation session. 

5) Review your progress

With a hectic schedule and everyday stress, it’s often easy to lose track of your accomplishments. To be able to remotivate yourself, it’s important to take into consideration your personal progress and see how far you’ve come. Being able to go through your accomplishments gives you a sense of relief and helps you come out of a slump.
