Wrote these tips in a slightly different form a few weeks ago for my B2B Writing Newsletter. But I think they’re good tips, for everyone and for almost any endeavor where, if you’re like me, you need a kick in the pants!

Summer, my dear reader, is now over. And it’s back to work! But what happens when we’re not quite ready, when we just aren’t in the mood? I’ve scoured the web for you and found these suggestions when that energy thing is just not happening:

• Just start moving, no matter how little. Open up that file on the computer or on that table. Login to the company site, open up the last document you worked on before the long weekend. Make one small move, then another one.
• Break the task into little, or even tiny, pieces. Use a timer method, like the mechanical kitchen clocks or the online Freedom app (which I use – it’s great). When I’m wearing my fiction writer hat, I’ve been known to break writing up into increments as short as 15 minutes. (It adds up, it really does.)
• Reward yourself for every little triumph. Use what rewards work for you.
• Take a little break: Try meditation/a nap/a walk in the park (especially in the mid to late afternoon, instead of that trip to the carb machine—cause you know that won’t be pretty in about 20 minutes).
• Keep your perspective. I always think about lying on my deathbed (well, I come from some seriously melancholy Celtic stock) and what would I wished I’d done more of in my life—and I bet working’s not going to be on that list.
• Overwhelmed with tasks? Plan them out, put them all on paper, on a map in front of you, then revisit suggestion number 2 above.
• Is the task even necessary? Maybe there’s things that don’t need, don’t absolutely have to be done! Like ever! Wouldn’t it be great to just cross them off your list?
• Refuse to do what you just can’t bring yourself to do. Why? Because you won’t do it well, even if it’s is something that truly needs to be done. There’s a reason Scarlett O’Hara always said, “Tomorrow is another day.”
• If nothing else, clean off your desk. You’ll likely find that task so heinous and so boring that you’ll naturally segue into the real work that needs doing.

Good luck! Send your procrastination beaters my way, too!
