3, 2, 1… A secret guide to getting motivated FAST!

Okay so you know the gym is calling. Or the laundry. Or that email. Or maybe all of them are screaming all at once. Either way to shut them up you just need to summon the willpower to do something about it. We don't need to 'find the reason why' or 'unpick our truth'. We just need a kick up the ass now. I got you. Check these out

The 321 method ⏰

Yep, it is that simple. Out loud (or in your head, if you’re a lil shy) say to yourself “3, 2, 1, go!”, and immediately start the task. The key here is not to think about it too much… Once you get going, the momentum will carry you.

I kid you not this tiny trick could be a gamechanger.

Dress for the occasion 💃🏼🕺

Need to hit the gym? Get that matchy-matchy set on.

Need to cook? Tie the knot on that apron.

Need to get that piece of work done? Get out of your pyjamas, brush your teeth and put on something that doesn't resemble a dressing gown (yes, I see you)

We have habitual triggers that are so ingrained that they cause us to partake in a particular behaviour. The way we dress forms one of these habits and can instantly put you in the headspace to carry out the task. Yep, trick yourself. That's it.

The pomodoro method 🍅

If you have a larger task that requires some instant but sustained motivation, this little nugget of information may be the one for you

1. Identify a task or tasks that you need to complete

2. Set a timer for 25 minutes

3. Work on a task with no distractions

4. When the alarm sounds, take a 5-minute break

5. Repeat the process 3 more times

6. Take a longer 30-minute break and start again

Taking shorter breaks allows for increased levels of productivity and focus. This widely recognised technique is a great way to start talking about time management.
