Feelings like high expectations, resentment, or allowing tiredness and lack of enthusiasm to dictate your productivity. These will only hold us back from achieving things efficiently or effectively. Try to separate your feelings from the task by adopting a &#8216;just do it&#8217; mentality. Think about why you are doing the task to begin with, there is always a bigger purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\">\n<h2 class=\"playground-font wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e7b5d5fe3335bfc7e752ef5116d8fd7c\" id=\"h-3\" style=\"color:#d7d2cb;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;font-size:100px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;line-height:0.4\">3<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94d455b8f00c325d8c3b89cf15ca3bf4\" id=\"h-break-down-the-job-into-smaller-portions\" style=\"color:#716e6a;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;font-size:18px\">Break down the job into smaller portions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5ba79b64f29f38ce324478b3a77a5f69 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#716e6a;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;font-size:16px\">When confronting a large task, it may feel overwhelming and too big to even start. Even if you wanted to, you start feeling like if you start with Task A, you&#8217;re not getting enough of Task B, or C done. So where do you begin? My approach to a large job, would be to break it down into smaller tasks. And if they&#8217;re still looking too big, break them down again, as many times as you need to just get something done. Even if it&#8217;s as small a task as picking up your pen, followed by opening your notepad and sketching out an idea, this will still help you achieve one small task after another until you don&#8217;t notice but finish all the tasks that complete the whole job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1f3e22ad60b800979c3bf6778650ee68 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#716e6a;margin-top:0;font-size:16px\">Martin Luther King Jr. summarised it well when he said, &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\">\n<h2 class=\"playground-font wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eb2af9caa38b6ab62aaa0898d5f2911a\" id=\"h-4\" style=\"color:#d7d2cb;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;font-size:100px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;line-height:0.4\">4<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b562f984ec6a87654b80f9bbb0874097\" id=\"h-take-breaks-and-get-inspired\" style=\"color:#716e6a;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;font-size:18px\">Take breaks and get inspired.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-64057f11d5e1753bee02831b9eb32e8c wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#716e6a;margin-top:0;font-size:16px\">If you&#8217;re running low on creative energy and can&#8217;t think of any ideas to break procrastination, it might help to take a break. Just do something completely different. Something lightly active like a walk and staying hydrated can keep you a little more focused. You might visit the shops, take the day off, visit a bookstore to browse the design area or hop online to look at what other creatives are doing. You might find that after taking in something that nourishes your mind and creative thinking, you&#8217;ll be better placed to start your own project and expend creative energy. It&#8217;s a bit like exercising, you can only give what you take in, so time for you is extremely important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\">\n<h2 class=\"playground-font wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d0b3bc8a305b97fe3c69baca3c9cc769\" id=\"h-5\" style=\"color:#d7d2cb;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;font-size:100px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;line-height:0.4\">5<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-abbb76b9bee21800a2b3bc5963262398\" id=\"h-challenge-yourself-creatively\" style=\"color:#716e6a;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;font-size:18px\">Challenge yourself creatively.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d2de616b453be645cb4abba503aa1865 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#716e6a;margin-top:0;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;font-size:16px\">There have brand identities and projects that have left me wishing I was working on something more inspiring and engaging to look at. But now, instead of looking unenthusiastically at a design task because I don&#8217;t like the look of the brand, I seek inspiration from other creatives and similar projects that might help me see my job in a different light. Perhaps I can push my creativity and the brand I&#8217;m working on, to create something that will make me proud of what I&#8217;m doing.
