Be more efficient when working

i put this goal at the top of my list in order to make it a priority, but i’m finding that it’s a bit of a block. As if I can’t do the other things on my list until I’ve achieved this, and that’s where I fall down. I don’t have any motivation to do this at the moment! I feel like I can be really inefficient at times, but this tends to be when I’m not really getting much out of the task I’m doing (like today). And then other days I am super-motivated, particularly when I have a deadline or the task is something I can get excited about. I wonder whether I need to spend a little time exploring this a bit more and working out what works best for me, rather than beating myself up about the fact that i’m not getting better at it. Stop and assess the situation, rather than throwing solutions at it!

i am the biggest procrastinator at work. some days i have loads of focus and energy and i get a couple of days work done in one day. and then there are others – like today – when it’s just not happening for me. i have no focus, no interest in getting anything done! and while that’s ok once in a while, my problem is that right now there are too many days like that. so i need to find some little tricks to help me on the dumb days. anyone has any suggestions they’d be greatly appreciated!
