Summertime brings hot weather, the allure of beaches and road trips, and often a drop in motivation. If you’re having trouble staying motivated at work this summer, here are a few tips.
Take a Vacation
Whether you hit the road or simply explore the parks around your city, getting away from work can be a powerful reboot. If you don’t have any PTO, consider dedicating a weekend to spending time in nature rather than catching up on household tasks.
Stay Organized
The more organized you are, the easier it is to focus on each task in turn without getting overwhelmed simply. Take the time to organize both your workspace and your calendar, and spend a few minutes each day organizing anything new that comes in. It’s a lot easier to stay motivated when all you have to do is work your way through a clean to-do list.
Take Care of You
Self-care is always important, and it’s even more true during the long, hot days of summer. Drink more water. Eat salty snacks. Take a cool shower when you get home. Soak up the sun. Fire up the backyard grill. Whatever soothes your soul, make it a priority. It will be easier to stay motivated during the day when you know you have something to look forward to at home.
Celebrate Summertime
Even if you’re stuck in a windowless area, there’s no reason not to celebrate the summer. Play the Beach Boys at your workstation. Put up some photos from your favorite summer vacations. Bring in Popsicles for everyone in the office. Just a few easy tweaks to your space can help to change your entire outlook.
