Here's our six tips to help you find your Monday motivation and to help you through the beginning of the week.

1. One thing at a time - Allow your mind to focus on one task often boosts creativity, helps maintain concentration and each time you complete a task gives you a motivational boost.

2. Write a to-do list - Just jot a few notes down to remind you of the tasks you have and when they are due. Keeping these to hand will allow you to mentally prepare yourself to accomplish this list and allocate time for each item.

3. Stick to a plan - Nobody likes the feeling of too much work creeping up on them. The more you plan your workload the more likely you are to achieve the goals you have set.

4. Make sure your goals are achievable - If you think that a task will take you too long or you are not adequately resourced/prepared to complete the task then make sure you only add it to your ‘To Do’ list when it is achievable within your time frame.

5. Make the most out of your time - Start early, ensure you have adequate time for breaks, prepare a lunch that you enjoy and take the time to speak to those around you. Having time away from your desk and your work is essential to remain productive. If you wear yourself out during the morning, become hungry, tired and irritated then this will strongly affect the way your afternoon plays out.

6. Give yourself a pat on the back if you’ve earnt it - If you feel there are areas you could have improved in or a more efficient approach then make sure you write it down, learn from it and apply it the next time you work on that task.

I hope this helps.
