Let’s face it: there are times (days, weeks even) when we don’t feel like working. We just aren’t motivated, or we’re exhausted, and we just want to goof off or take a nap. Unfortunately, also means that you won’t get paid, and when the bills come in, it is hell to pay. Here are some basic tips to get you motivated again.

Just do a little at a time.
Put a major project at the top of your to-do list.
Play a game.
Go for a walk.
Talk to someone.
Commit yourself to a deadline.
