I’m sure this happens to everyone at some time. You wake up in the morning and you just don’t feel like doing anything. Or worse yet, you dread going into work.
Well, fear not. I stumbled upon this article that’ll give you the tips and tricks that’ll get you through any day. Even if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
There’s some pretty neat stuff here, but I’d love to hear what you have to say about doing work when you don’t feel like it.

How To Remain Productive When You Feel Like Giving Up
From Entrepreneurs-Journey.com
Like most people, some mornings I wake up and feel less than enthusiastic about working. Sometimes, this feeling doesn’t stem from laziness or apathy, it’s a stronger power, a sense of futility and helplessness.
I know a lot of people look to my story of success as a source of inspiration and that is one of the greatest benefits I enjoy as a blogger, but – and I’m not afraid to admit it – I don’t always feel energized to pursue business and sometimes in my darkest moments, I even consider throwing in the towel.
This feeling is not so common for me now as I have lifestyle flexibility, a more stable income and a better mindset about work, but earlier on, it definitely was a problem. I want to explain how I overcome these moments (and still do the same thing now on occasion) to stay on track and how you can even have a productive day when you are not really feeling the mojo on the inside.
I expect you have felt similar feelings of despair or a lack of motivation at different stages of your business development, especially if you are yet to establish an income stream online that is sufficient for you to live off, or if you are right at the beginning and you have not seen one cent of return for the work you have put in.
Inspired or Dejected
Depending on your world view and personality style, when you hear of the success of others you may either feel inspired or dejected, and while it’s obviously more fruitful to look at other people achieving what you desire as motivation, as a fallible human, jealousy, depression and anger may be your initial responses.
Your mind is your greatest asset for success in business, but it can be just as strong a force of hindrance, sabotaging your efforts, destroying your work ethic and leaving you with no option but to return to the soul destroying job you promised yourself that you would never go back to.
How To Work When You Don’t Feel Like It
One of the characteristics I believe is at the heart of my success and the success of most entrepreneurs, is an ability to keep working in the face of failure and an ability to force yourself to be productive when you don’t feel like it.

very nice article!
Ah, good post.
I agree — sometimes you have to be patient and keep putting good stuff out there before you see the rewards. Life truly seems to be a case of “you reap what you sow”… You just gotta keep the faith (as frustrating as that can be!)
In terms of how to snap yourself out of a mood of despair in the morning, try:
1) 20 press-ups or jumps — you’ll feel so silly and exhausted that it instantly shifts your mood
2) A cheeky bit of NLP — maybe a bit of anchoring, or even just forcing yourself to visualise — which admitedly takes a bit of willpower but yields good results
3) Cheating, by using binaural beats or isochronic tones. Not only do they wake you up, but they strip your mind of negativity and reset your whole system. Seriously, you can’t go wrong…!
or…
4) Sod it, stay in bed — sometimes you deserve a day off
motivation always follows taking action!!!! however small the effort, you are moving in the right direction.pat yourself on the back, allow yourself to feel better, do more if you want.
Lack of motivation, feeling down in the dumps is often a sign of carrying around unfinished business. I recommend taking a hard look inward and find out what it is you are holding onto. It is important to experience it fully, reframe it and then move on.
