4 Ways to Stay Motivated Working<br />During the COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people<br />to deal with difficult changes in their everyday lives,<br />particularly on a professional level. Some are at home and adjusting to <br />remote work. Others are struggling to juggle<br />their kids alongside a busy work schedule. If you feel you could use a little motivation, here are <br />four tips to help you take charge and stay proactive. 1. Understanding yourself<br />and what drives you forward<br />is one of the most important<br />steps to success. Identify what is meaningful to you and what<br />makes you feel fulfilled, as this will allow you<br />to leverage those things within your own work. 2. The current situation can seem <br />chaotic at times, which is why it's <br />vital that you take control of <br />the things that you can. Be proactive by setting professional boundaries<br />and taking charge of your schedule. Don’t be afraid<br />to decline meetings that aren’t crucial. 3. Build up your confidence so that your work<br />drive is motivated by your own needs, not others. If a situation doesn’t go your way, take note of the<br />negativity, but don’t let it bring you down. Focus on<br />the positive and give yourself encouragement. 4. Start tracking your motivation<br />levels to identify the things in your<br />life that are and aren’t working. Knowing the root cause of how you’re feeling<br />and how it may be affecting your work will allow<br />you to make any necessary adjustments.
