How do you get yourself motivated when doing the boring jobs?

manicmadness85 · 10-21-2009, 07:44 PM

I am in the process of setting up my network of niche blogs, and it is hard to keep myself motivated. I find that working from the house is 'too easy', for me. What I have been doing lately is doing little baby steps in between like running errands and whatever, when I am working the big tasks.

I find that if I take my laptop and work either at Starbucks or the local rec center, that I get a lot more done. The distractions actually help keep me focused.

Like, for instance I was registering 50 domain names earlier today. I could not get a thing done... however, when I got up and got out of the house I found that I had my list with me and was able to register them in about ten minutes. That is the biggest hurdle right there.

As a former hosting provider, this process is not new to me -- don't know why I was so stuck on stupid.

What do you do to get yourself motivated for the bigger tasks of the day?

TommyBussey · 10-21-2009, 07:52 PM

The best thing that keeps me motivated is the things I have taped to my wall next to the computer, on my desk, and in other areas that are frequently visible. I like to keep pictures and quotes around that remind of why I'm doing what I'm doing.

If we have no purpose for an ultimate goal (or set of goals), then it is very difficult to find the drive and motivation needed to get things done. I like to keep my goal cards very accessible, and when I start feeling bored or tired, I just take a read through my goals.

Something that I've applied when writing my goal cards is to write them in present tense at a future date. For example, "I am so thankful that today on January 1st, 2010, my business is consistently earning five figures per month and I am able to pay off all of my college debt." Something like that haha

Anyways, I hope this helps. I've got a whole bunch of mindset stuff (most of which I taught myself when I was a college athlete) but I'll get into that later and in future posts.

manicmadness85 · 10-21-2009, 07:55 PM

Now that is good, I like it a lot. Maybe I should put up on my laptop reminders... I like it! Keep 'em coming.

manicmadness85 · 10-21-2009, 08:06 PM

Another exercise that I have done that is similar to the one you have above, is:

I wrote out in 3rd person things that I like about myself and reasons why I feel I deserve success. I put them in chronological order, of course. Also -- this excercise really helps as I am in the process of quitting smoking as well.

I keep going by pulling my guitar out for a few hours....and letting go

mattlaclear · 10-21-2009, 08:40 PM

The only motivation I need is the weekly food bill I get from feeding 6 kids! . My main problem is staying on task. I carry around a boring to do listWhen I think of something that needs to be done the next day I put it on the list. For some reason I find it quite satisfying crossing stuff off my list.

mark z · 10-21-2009, 08:45 PM

I`m using simple method.
Whenever doing boring jobs I`m listening some good music.

By that I mean while doing repetitive work or so.
Copywriting is never boring to me. :-)

manicmadness85 · 10-21-2009, 09:18 PM

Copywriting is the most boring part of it all to me.
I could be making a ton if I just focused on that.
However, I really don't like it. It is painfully boring.

and that is why I outsource my articles.

Actually, I think most of the online work is boring... but its where the easy money is, and lazy+easy go together well for me. lol!

achivement84 · 10-23-2009, 07:44 AM

Think on it as a step to reach the interesting jobs, a necessary step to maintain a goal or reach an aim.You can also think on it as a challenge and easy thing you can do simply just when you decide that.

steve-wilkins · 10-23-2009, 08:13 AM

I have a playlist on my ipod with some really upbeat tunes that keep me motivated, including ''summer of 69'' by brian adams, not everyone's taste I know but it helps me

I also have pictures of the future car I would like to own, my ideal house/mansion knowing that only succes in my business will bring the rewards.

I know how hard it can be to get motivated some days espeically in the morning, a nice cup of coffee always helps me

Best of luck!

Steve.

Oregonman · 10-23-2009, 12:15 PM

Reminders are good for the motivation, but an "I can do that" strategy really helps me. For example, I try to put the boring job in chunks. If you're registering 50 niche blogs, try saying I will get 6 done in 60 minutes and then I'll give myself a 15 minute treat of doing something fun. You may not get all 50 done today, but each 6 will be a success and tomorrow, you'll know that you'll complete the job. That's the other recommendation, work hard and work smart, but don't work yourself to death. Take breaks and at a certain time in the day, stop and "go home" even if you are home. The internet will be there in the morning and you'll be ready to handle the boring stuff. Good luck!

Jillian Slack · 10-25-2009, 12:22 PM

Sometimes it is such a challenge to make your way through duties that you know must be done in order to succeed.

Keep a "To Do" list next to your work area at all times.

That should help keep you on track because you would have listed everything that MUST get done during the day.

Also, it keeps you on track because you can jot down other things that you think of throughout the day, rather than being tempted to actually begin those jobs. Or, for example, if you think of something around the house that needs to be done or an errand you need to run, jot it down on the list so you don't forget about it, but don't stop what you are working on to actually take care of it.

Setting a timer is another good way to keep yourself on task. Give yourself 30 minutes or an hour and work on nothing but the project in front of you for that time. Don't let yourself flip over to check email, Facebook or the Warrior Forum during that time.

You'll be surprised how much work you can get done when you force yourself to concentrate.

As for making it fun (or at least making it less boring), how about playing some peppy music while you are working?

Matt D. · 10-25-2009, 03:07 PM

I have one of those white plastic boards that you can write on and then erase it with some cloth or a hand

I write all of my goals on that board so whenever I want to know what I have to do, I just look at it.
Also for motivation, I have a clear picture of what I want and why, I have many quotes and pictures around me to remind me of why I'm doing this. It works for me.

Create enough pain or pleasure in your head and you'll be willing to do anything.

I'm wired the exact same way.

If I can't get to a coffee shop, I arm myself with coffee and a favorite CD. I always listen to music while I work - I enjoy it and it keeps me focused.

oliver_white · 10-28-2009, 07:29 AM

I think of the various perks/rewards that comes in doing that boring job so that I'll be motivated enough to perform it.

It's true that inspirations makes us motivated and driven. So always think of the things that can inspire you like money, holiday vacation, and all that and always keep the faith!

vc2008 · 10-28-2009, 07:41 AM

I break the work into small chunks and finish off within the set time lines.

This keeps me motivated and when the job is finished I fell an immense sense of achievement and satisfaction.

RichPirate · 10-30-2009, 03:12 PM

One of the best ways to make a boring job, not boring is to make it fun. Make a game out of it. If the task is supposed to take 4 hours try to do it in 2.

Another way is to make it interesting by combining it with something you already enjoy doing. This is how I got through university, when ever I was given an assignment I would twist it until it was related to something I was already interested in. I wrote several essays on hypnosis, social influence, and stage magic while my peers were choosing boring topics and suffering because of it.

zim · 11-10-2009, 08:31 AM

I know it it difficult to keep oneself motivated when doing boring jobs especially if it does'nt pay a lot. I am at that stage in my freelancing career where the question stares me in the face every day. What I do to stay motivated is to keep in mind my ultimate objective.

James_J · 11-10-2009, 07:35 PM

Great post.

My method of beating boring tasks is simple. Outsource. You can get someone who is great in the Philippines for $3us per hour! So for any data entry, copy and paste, research, articles simply outsource and do the stuff that is going to make a bigger difference in your business!

You can outsource almost anything with a good camtasia video of your screen explaining the task.

Hope this helps.

digidoodles · 11-10-2009, 09:39 PM

You must be my twin. Except I have 5 kids.

I also take great satisfaction in making a list and marking stuff off. Weird, huh?

I hear my kids and they are my motivator. When I tell them to do something they don't want to do, I tell them "you don't have to like it; but you DO have to do it."

I try and abide by that myself. Admittedly, it gets tough.

Warmly,

Brandi

steveblum · 11-10-2009, 09:49 PM

Taking short breaks to clear my head and keep my eyes from burning out helps me work through the boring jobs.

I try not to check e-mail and all those other attention stealers during my breaks because I want to stay focused. I also remind myself that it has to be done whether I like it or not, and putting it off won't make it go away.

Bodhitree · 11-10-2009, 09:52 PM

before enlightenment chop wood, carry water...... after enlightenment chop wood, carry water..... I love that saying..... always reminds me that doing repetitive work is part of being human. Anything your doing is amazing if you are totally engaged and present. Keep coming back to what you are doing and be present. Enjoy.

zahra · 11-11-2009, 02:03 AM

Before starting you tasks you have to think about the outcome from what you are doing, and realize the goal which you want to achive, then you will find any task is easy and can be done .Just "Challenge yourself" and you will find every thing easy and achievable.

I will keep listening music or cal a frnd and talk to them for few mins.

drwhogoesthere · 11-11-2009, 01:43 PM

I just ask myself two very simple questions

Where will I be in five years if I don't do this?

and

Where will I be in five years if I do do this?

I keep reminding myself that the hard and boring working I do now will lead to my financial freedom and get me away from a job which I am growing to hate.

I use the:

"what will happen if I do" and "what will happen if I don't" as well. It hits both the "towards" and "away from" motivation patterns most people have

Shanoa35 · 11-20-2009, 09:59 PM

Well, this what I am worried for.

I wanna quit my job cause I feel tired but I don't know what I can do if I quit my job.

Now this job is killing me, I don't know how toget myself motivated.

You have got to think of why you are working. Do you have a family to take care of? Are you planing a big vacation? Are you paying off debt? Are you saving to start a business?

If you don't know, then find a reason, make a goal that is personal. Work for work's sake is always boring. You've got to find a reason.

Hope this helps.

DebG · 11-21-2009, 09:38 AM

I sometimes go to an internet cafe.

We have lots of expensive ones in our area, but I find regardless of the price the fact that I am paying for my time online makes me get the job over and done with a lot quicker!

As others have said the distractions seem to help- although the online work is boring, it doesn't seem so bad when there are things going on around you.

Jreyes2265 · 11-21-2009, 03:29 PM

I think of all the negatives that will happen if "I don't do this boring job." and then I think of all the positives "What can I get out of this job?" in the sense of more money etc.

he_who_brings_order · 11-21-2009, 04:24 PM

At work my boss left me a message on paper says that she will reduce my salary by 10% because I work poorly, even though I gave my best.

I brought this message home, stuck it in a visible place and see it whenever I don`t have the motivation...

You have no idea how much this motivates me

I sometimes go to an internet cafe. We have lots of expensive ones in our area, but I find regardless of the price the fact that I am paying for my time online makes me get the job over and done with a lot quicker! As others have said the distractions seem to help- although the online work is boring, it doesn't seem so bad when there are things going on around you.

I think of all the negatives that will happen if "I don't do this boring job." and then I think of all the positives "What can I get out of this job?" in the sense of more money etc.

At work my boss left me a message on paper says that she will reduce my salary by 10% because I work poorly, even though I gave my best. I brought this message home, stuck it in a visible place and see it whenever I don`t have the motivation... You have no idea how much this motivates me
