You might feel like procrastinating today, which may be due to a lack of motivation to get things done. Perhaps you may notice a sense of ennui with the way things are going in your life. Finding new sources of inspiration could help you pick up your energy levels and get more accomplished today. Should you sense that your energy begins to lag, you can think about what you would rather be doing, that is, things that intrigue you and pique your curiosity. It might be traveling to an exotic place, trying a new sport, or learning a new skill. Setting aside an established amount of time to learn more about what interests you and creating the intention to delve into a new pursuit in the future could make your day seem much more exciting. Remember, however, to keep within your time frame in order to finish more pressing responsibilities.

Knowing that there are other things awaiting us gives us an incentive to finish our tasks. Procrastination is often a sign that we are not engaged in what we are doing. When this happens we either need to change our tasks or find an alternate way to motivate ourselves. Understanding that nothing we have to do is permanent and that the best way to get through such tasks is by thinking of the rewards we will receive are useful strategies for keeping motivated. Lessen your ennui with your anticipation and excitement about the future and what inspires you, and you will have greater motivation to complete your work today.
