Stay At Home Jobs - Get Motivated And
Stay Motivated!
When you first start a stay at home job,
no task seems too large or too boring. Your
enthusiasm for your stay at home has you on your own
little stay at home work cloud and you feel you can
tackle anything. You have enough motivation for 5
stay at home jobs!
Then it happens. You wake up one
morning and getting to your stay at home office just
down the hall seems like a chore equal to climbing Mt.
Everest. And once you are actually at your stay at
home office desk, you find yourself writing long emails
to your former co-workers or looking through yesterday’s
mail—again. You just can’t seem to get started on your
stay at home work. Your motivation has deserted
you.
If you stop and think about it, you’ll
find you’re procrastinating getting started on your stay
at home job duties for one, or even several, reasons.
These reasons for putting off a stay at home task is
usually because:
-
The
task seems big and overwhelming
-
It’s
boring
-
It’s
a complex task and hard to know just where to begin
-
The
task isn’t a routine part of your skill set
-
It’s
something that’s a necessary evil
When you start feeling these things, you
know your stay at home job honeymoon is over. And
you don’t have to feel like there’s something wrong with
you or that deciding to opt for a stay at home job is
the biggest mistake you ever made. All that’s
really happened is that your stay at home job has become
just that: a job.
And really, it’s good when you start
thinking of your stay at home work as a job. This
makes it more real and gives it more substance.
After all, before you started your stay at home job, you
had a conventional job that had some aspects you really
enjoyed, while there were others you didn’t, right?
No matter how much you love your stay at home job, at
some point it’s going to hit you that it is a job—and
that means your stay at home job will require some
chores you just don’t want to do.
So now that you’re truly married to your
stay at home job, you need to have some strategies for
dealing with those parts of your stay at home work that
you don’t like or threaten to overwhelm you. The
more prepared you are for dealing with those aspects of
your stay at home job that you don’t like, the better
and faster you’ll be able to accomplish them—and get
them off the desk of your stay at home office to make
room for the tasks you do enjoy.
Some ways you can make those dreaded stay
at home chores easier, and less daunting, to manage are:
-
Break
a large work at home task into increments and spread
them out over several days
-
Prevent small work at home tasks from piling up into
a mountainous chore by doing a few of them every day
-
Reward yourself for finishing a large or
particularly boring stay at home task
-
Delegate—even if you work alone, you can outsource
things like accounting and tax chores
-
If
the work at home job you’re dreading is not
something you’re an expert out, find someone who is
and ask for help
-
When
it comes to work at home tasks that are just boring,
get creative and find a way to make it fun—enlist
family members to help, turn on some cool, upbeat
music, race the clock, whatever you can think of to
make it less boring for you
-
Consider just not doing the stay at home task—often
we’re our worst enemies and make up extra work for
ourselves, so ask yourself if it’s something that
absolutely has to be done, which can often be the
case
-
Give
yourself frequent breaks from boring or complicated
stay at home work tasks
And then there’s always just do it.
For some reason when you put off something, whether it’s
a stay at home task or emailing your mother, it gets a
lot bigger in your mind. Think about it for a
second. How many times have you found yourself
dreading doing something only to find out after you’d
finished that it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought it
would be? So don’t waste your time and energy dreading
that boring or difficult stay at home task, do it, and
then treat yourself to a chocolate chip cookie—or two!
That should keep you motivated.
