My Monday motivation just didn’t make it this week. So as not to go into a whole long drawn out story about my love/hate relationship with my internet provider, suffice it to say that we just don’t get along. But the good news is that in 7 short weeks I can tell them to go fly a kite, and that is mild compared to what I really want to say to them.

So I missed Monday and Tuesday, so I have to move on to Wednesday huh? Well you ever have a week like that? Here it is the middle of the week and due to things going on you have gotten noting accomplished that you need to get done? You have a bunch of projects that you just have to get started and get accomplished. I have deadlines looming over my head that just need to get done.

What I need to do to sit down and re-evaluate my week. My whole week does not need to be down the tube. There is still plenty of time to save what is left of it.

First evaluate what needs to be done, and when. Make a list if you need to. Arrange the list by what needs to be done first and go from there.

Now you have a list of things that need to get done, what do you do? It may be just a teensy weensy bit overwhelming if your Mon and Tues have gotten nothing done. Remember, one thing at a time. Start at the most urgent task and work your way down. Once you get started it won’t seem so bad, trust me.

Once you get started remember to take breaks. Breaks give your brain time to recharge a bit. Have a problem with getting a project done just the way you wanted? Been working at it for what seems like hours? Starting to feel like you are running behind again? Take a break. Get up from your desk, walk around. Feel like you can’t do that either? Well go to the next task on your list and work on that. Change your focus a bit. When you come back to the original task your brain may see things a bit differently.

Don’t let a bad start to your week mess up the rest. Refocus your thoughts and your motivation and start to get things done!

Have a great week! Oh! Wait! Even if I missed my Monday Motivational there were some great ones posted! Check out Life From My Laptop’s Monday Motivation by Alyssa and Real Life Solutions Monday Motivation by Aurelia.
