Hello guys. Hope once again you're all doing good. Very quick post today with a quick tip I often use when I am not motivated to start a study task. Last final push now for exams so important to keep productive.

Often we tend to do the things we don't mind doing or like doing before we do things we hate doing.

Because of this I often find myself with long essays to write in a very short deadline because ice procrastinated doing them for a long time.

Here is a great trick for GETTING STARTED on any task.

Set a timer for 5 minutes. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself out loud:
"I am going to focus fully and intentionally on this task for the next five minutes"
"If I want to stop after 5 minutes I can but if I feel driven to I can continue the task a little longer"
" I am going to get started on this task"

The key thing here is for this 5 minute trick to work you need no distractions and pure focus. Make it a challenge to see how much you can get done in 5 minutes. Genuinely I find the hardest thing with any hard task is getting started at it. Once you get the ball rolling your desire switches from wanting to avoid the task to wanting to finish the task.

This tip may not work for everyone but feel free to adapt it to your needs or based on the task you have. If you feel like you need 10 mins pure focus to start an essay plan then do 10 mins. If the thought of 5 mins is too much try 2 minutes.

This still wont work for everyone but it defjnuely has worked so far for me when motivation is low. Let me know if it helps you or if you have any other helpful tips that others can use to get started on tasks where motivation is low.

Thanks all! ❤️
