Some Tips to Keep You on Track and Motivated in 2020
Rebecca Appleton • 31 December 2019
We talk a lot about time management and managing your productivity, but while these tips are extremely useful in keeping you on track for success, you also need motivation and drive.
Motivation and drive or even what you could call alertness and focus, isn’t as easy to train as time management and productivity. They are considered much more individual things and ultimately every individual person will have their own motivational triggers – if you’re reading this, that drive could come from having just taken up our mobile app development agency business opportunity and wanting to make your new venture a success.
Whilst you will need to take your own responsibility for figuring out what your overall motivation for being successful in business and in life is, we can point you in the direction of a few hints and tips to keep you alert, focussed and motivated on a day-to-day basis.
Try some of these:
Fun and Socialising
We’ve lost count now of the amount of studies and papers that prove that the injection of fun and happy social environments within the workplace have a positive effect on productivity and overall employee satisfaction. Truth is, we don’t need a psychologist to tell us that a happy environment is a more motivated one, even when it comes to just wanting to be at work or around the people who are in your team.
Recruit carefully to build a team that can socialise as well as work together and ensure you put effort and time into team building and arranging fun social activities.
The Sound of Music
We’re in the festive season and you will have no doubt noticed the overly joyful sound of upbeat Christmas songs filling up retail stores and supermarkets accompanied by what will be an obnoxious increase in volume.
Retail brands do this intentionally and actually put more thought and money behind their playlists than you might think, all to ensure their shoppers are in the right mood to browse and spend. The same can and usually is true of the work environment. Whether it’s to assist you when working solo or as a communal sound within a working environment, music can help focus.
As well as improving focus and cohesiveness, music can also lighten the mood and relieve tension when the team is pushing to complete deadline tasks – It also means you don’t have to listen to that one team mate every office has with the really loud chewing.
Time to Disconnect
This is becoming a bigger and bigger part of what it means for the modern individual, particularly those in high pressure environments to take care of themselves. Our modern day constantly connected approach to day to day life is exhausting. We never really rest, and studies have shown that our need to feel connected and aware of everything that’s happening around us causes anxiety.
Schedule in some time every day to go for a run, the gym, a nap or watch an episode of your favourite TV show but do so with all of your devices turned off completely. Your brain and your body needs to know you are disconnected so that you can truly relax. Also, if you value your sanity, turn your devices off at night.
