Lazy Day Motivation

Some days we are ready to take on the world. Other days, we lie in pretend. And, then some days, we barely move. Instead of letting life drift on by on lazy days, set yourself up for success. Plan for success. 

How do you become motivated? 

1) Decide 1, 2, or 3 things you want to accomplish on your lazy day. 

Do you want finish the laundry? Do the shopping? Clean the bathroom? Do some reading? Decide what you want accomplished. 

2) Break down hopefully accomplishments into bite-sized tasks. 

If you neee to clean the bathroom, you could say: surfaces, linens, trash, floors. This breaks it down into manageable tasks. Have these tasks be something which will be an accomplishment, not extra work. (If your goal is cleaning the garage, moving everything to the yard is not a good task). 

3) Set a timer. 

Set a timer and see how many tasks you can complete in 5 or 10 minutes. Some might even suggest 8 minutes. 

4) When the time is up, decide: continue or break? 

Take breaks and rest often on lazy days. Your body might need the reprieve. 

5) Pat yourself on the back. You did it.
