But what should you do if you can’t persuade yourself to start doing a particular task?

In this case, pay attention to the following life hacks.

The main thing is to start

At any cost, start doing the work. Convince yourself somehow.

One interesting psychological trick is effective. You need to tell yourself: "I'll work only 10 minutes. That's it."

The point is that people who do manage to get started rarely stop at the first stage.

Allow yourself breaks

Tell yourself: “Once an hour I will take a five-minute break.”

Understanding that breaks are not forbidden helps a person a lot. Laziness is replaced by efficiency.

Divide the goal into several smaller tasks

And don't try to do everything at once. Break one big task into several small ones.

This approach is good not only because it makes a person less lazy.

Another trick helps to do the work more thoroughly.

Earlier we talked about a powerful psychological technique that helps to convince interlocutors.
