If there´s one thing that will kill your productivity it is stress. Because I´ve been moving, keeping up with uni work, working like crazy and sorting out some personal things the past few weeks have been absolutely insane. Sometimes you have so much to do that you just don´t know where to start, so you end up doing nothing. Well I´ve been fighing the urge to just pull the blanket over my head and sleep all day so here´s my personal list of things that help increase creativity and motivation:
- making yourself a cup of tea/coffee
- relaxing music in the background if you have to come up with ideas
- a clean and organized workspace
- breaks in between
- reward yourself after you´ve done everything
...and if nothing works: stop hating youself, do something else instead and try again the next day. Because really, if you´re not going to be productive anyway why not spend your time doing something you enjoy instead? Exactly.
