    Tips to get motivated

    Having a hard time getting motivated? Here's some intel to help you stop slacking!

    1) Start small. Ask yourself, "Why is it too hard to do this for just 15 minutes?" Once you get going, you're likely to stick with it, and even enjoy the job a little more.

    2) Challenge the idea that you can't do it. Might take a few attempts, because sometimes we just learn by trial and error.

    3) Keep tabs. Write your accomplishments down in a journal; we're more likely to stick to our plans if we monitor our progress to that goal.

    4) Commit to others. Make a public commitment to complete a task. The motivation you get from others will make you more focused on getting things done.

    5) Reward yourself. Relaxation differs from laziness; it's good to reward yourself for a job well done.
