12. Offer yourself a reward.
When you finish a task, you should congratulate yourself and reward yourself.
After finishing the task at hand, reward yourself.
- Once the article is finished, you can take an hour off to do whatever you like.
- If you exercise at the gym, treat yourself to your preferred coffee at your preferred cafe.
- If you finish the assignment, treat yourself to a delicious lunch at your preferred eatery as a reward.
13. Read (or listen) to a book.
Never forget that sometimes doing nothing is perfectly fine. However, reading a book can be a low-key method to feel productive if you feel like you should be doing something or have some guilt about “wasting time,” especially if it’s a nonfiction book on a topic you want to learn more about.
Consider an audiobook if you lack the motivation to even hold a book (it happens). As long as you have a library card, many libraries allow you to borrow audiobooks or electronic books for no cost.
People who don’t have a lot of free time to read can benefit from audiobooks because you can listen to them while doing nearly anything else. If you’d rather to lie still and let noises wash over you, they can also provide a method to “read.”
14. Activate the memory bank.
Is anything worth doing if we can’t remember it? View pictures of enjoyable occasions (but avoid those with the ex who made you distinctly unhappy)! or peruse a diary. You’ll start to consider the upcoming ones when you are reminded that life has its amazing moments.
15. Finally, laugh!
Is there anything that makes you feel better than a good laugh? Create a small playlist on YouTube of your favorite comedic videos, read a humorous book, watch a funny TV show, or simply search the internet for anything amusing.
