Quick what to do right now

When motivation is low, focusing on small, manageable tasks can help you make progress toward your goal. Here are a few steps you might consider:

Break It Down: Identify a specific, tiny task related to your goal. For example, if your goal is to improve your wellness coaching, maybe start by drafting a single section of content or brainstorming one new idea.
Set a Timer: Commit to working on this small task for just 5-10 minutes. Often, starting is the hardest part, and once you’re engaged, you might find motivation to continue.
Focus on One Thing: Avoid multitasking. Concentrate on one aspect of your goal to reduce overwhelm and build a sense of accomplishment.
Reward Yourself: Give yourself a small reward after completing the task, whether it’s a short break, a treat, or something you enjoy.
Reflect on Your “Why”: Remind yourself why your goal is important to you. Connecting with your deeper motivation can help reignite your drive.
Visualize Progress: Picture what achieving your goal will look and feel like. Visualization can boost motivation and make the process feel more tangible.

Here are two choices to consider right now:

Draft a Short Outline: Write a brief outline for a section of content related to your wellness coaching. It could be a blog post, a video script, or an outline for a new workshop. This helps organize your thoughts and moves you closer to creating meaningful content.
Organize Your Photos: Spend 10-15 minutes organizing a small batch of your digital photos by date. You can start with a folder or a few files. This will help you make incremental progress towards getting your photo collection in order.
