We’ve all had those days. You know, the ones where you’re not really super sad or frustrated or angry — just meh. They definitely do nothing for inspiration. But the good news is there’s a way to turn things around. Ahead are three simple but effective productive hacks for when you’re just not feeling it.
1. Unplug
You already know this. Doom scrolling isn’t gonna do you any good. If you want to be un-stuck from your rut, the best thing to do is to take away everything that’s keeping you side-tracked. It doesn’t have to be drastic and it doesn’t need to be for long. The only thing you need to do is get started!
2. Set goals that don’t involve your job.
Believe it or not, one of the best ways to harness productivity is to move away from what you’re so stressed about accomplishing and focusing on something else for a bit. Setting personal goals will help motivate you to not only see your plans come to life in your life but also push you to finish your work — which means more time for personal life.
3. Read or watch something.
Catching up on your favorite shows may seem like a big productivity no-no but it’s actually great for getting your work spark back! It refreshes your mind and helps you concentrate better. The same goes for reading a book.
