It is undoubtedly a challenging circumstance for most of us during this unprecedented time due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

With more restrictions on outdoor gatherings and advice to stay at home, we are opting to stay at home as the new normal, which might be hard to keep our motivation bar afloat.

As we‘re closing week 6 of working-from-home, I thought it would be great to share some that I have learned to stay motivated.

1. Your Daily Consumption Matters

Having spent the last few weeks in your house/apartment & working have been certainly not easy.

I have been trying to condition my mind to stay motivated by consuming more positive content than ever.

There are several influential people and business owners like GaryVee, Simon Sinek, Adam Grant, and many others who spread unique and critical perspectives over social media.

This content helps, not only for you who seek 0.02$ tips for their experiences but also exercise kindness and empathy upon their posts, especially during this period.

2. Be Infinite with the Current Situation

Constantly asking myself questions and re-engineering certain problems in a regular working environment are perceived to be key.

Your perspective whilst being isolated and working a couple of hours a day also matters the most.

I am grateful enough for my well-being currently, and I am taking this opportunity to invest my time in reading, learning new skills, working out, and relaxing.

3. Your Little Things Add Up

Realistically speaking, it seems like the situation has now shown an improvement in terms of the number of infection rate and a potential solution for this pandemic — globally.

Continue staying at home and surround yourself with more positivity do tremendously contribute, particularly given the current indefinite situation.

There are tons of great content out there.

So, stay curious & continue with your hobbies, interests, and things you have always wanted to do because essentially, this time has never been better to focus on ourselves for working towards our bigger goals.

Final Word

If you’re a student, a fresh graduate, a digital marketer, or anyone who’s simply thriving during this period; I am a content marketer based in Kuala Lumpur. Feel free to connect with me via LinkedIn.
