Sometimes finding motivation for work can be so difficult, and at this stage procrastination would become a regular option.
Benjamin Spall of 99u.com wrote of logic; a 5 minutes trick that can help you do anything that you want to do.
Spall proffers a simple way you can trick yourself into doing anything you are supposed to, even if you have zero motivation. Just tell yourself you are going to do that which you are supposed to do within 5 minutes, 5 minutes and your brain wouldn’t even want to argue with you.
Spall explains:
“The logic here is if you tell yourself you’re only going to exercise, write, wash the dishes, or clean your apartment for “only five minutes,” your brain doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on. Nobody can argue with five minutes, including your brain, so it lets you have it.
Of course, what then usually happens is at about the five-minute mark of your task, you start to get into it. You realise it isn’t as hard as you had pegged it to be, and you start to get a taste for it, a taste which will then lead you to wanting to continue with the task.”
Just 5 minutes, and don’t be surprised you might end up enjoying or putting top speed to do the task at hand.
This totally makes sense. 5 minutes and you can do anything you want to. If you are too lazy to work then trick your brain into working.
