… motivated work. Who hasn’t experienced this? You wake up and realize that your motivation is at a very low level. An external incentive doesn’t always help. Ideally, you will find an inner driving force that motivates you. A few changing sentences and a simple exercise can help.

Phrases that change:

„I want to“ instead of „I have to“
„I can work on this task without much effort“ instead of „This work is boring„
Visualize the relevance of the task or ask the question: What is better afterwards?

Exercise:

Pick one of the sentences above that appeals to you the most at this moment.
Take an index card and write the sentence on the front. On the back, write an example situation in which the impulse is helpful for you.
Put the card in your wallet/handbag/jacket so that it is always to hand.
