Dealing With Periods Of Low Motivation

[Allegrif]

How do you get out of the rut and inspire yourself to be more productive if you're having a particularly bad week or month? I seem to have months where I get absolutely heaps done, and then months where I just don't feel as up to it.

I like to set personal goals and targets for myself to reach. Like, when I've completed so many tasks or done a certain amount of work, then at the end of the month after I've paid the bills, I'll have a bit extra to do something I really enjoy. Like going down the pub with my mates on a Friday night for a pint or two, or taking a day and going to the seaside. It's obviously not always a fail-proof way to stay motivated, but it certainly helps to know I have something to look forward to if I keep working hard.

There are periods in my life when I feel a sense of a lack of motivation to do anything. Recently I have launched my small startup and found out that keeping the remote employee motivated is much challenging than just motivate myself. While I have learnt what motivates me, managing remote team turned out to be a real challenge for me. I was really lucky to find this article https://diceus.com/offshore-team-motivate/ . Motivation is no problem for me anymore.
