Liam (Australia): Askly Hele:
Liam (Australia): I have a hard time staying motivated. I start new projects with excitement, but after a while, I lose interest and struggle to finish them. How can I stay motivated in the long run?
Askly Hele: Losing motivation midway is a common challenge, but there are ways to keep yourself engaged and driven. Here are some effective strategies:
-
Set Clear Goals – Define what you want to achieve and break it down into smaller, manageable tasks. This makes progress feel more achievable.
-
Find Your ‘Why’ – Remind yourself why you started in the first place. A strong reason behind your work can keep you going.
-
Create a Routine – Discipline is more reliable than motivation. Establish a daily habit of working on your project, even when you don’t feel like it.
-
Track Your Progress – Keep a journal or use an app to track small wins. Seeing progress can keep you motivated.
-
Reward Yourself – Set milestones and treat yourself when you reach them. Rewards help reinforce positive behavior.
-
Stay Inspired – Surround yourself with people, books, or videos that keep you excited about your work.
-
Accept Imperfection – Sometimes, fear of failure makes us lose motivation. Focus on progress, not perfection.
