Borut Razbornik The Antidote to Inertia
Staying productive can be challenging, especially when you feel like you’ve been stuck in a rut for weeks or months. But did you know that there’s a scientific reason why some people always seem to be productivity machines? It’s called momentum, and it’s the key to staying productive even when you don’t feel like it. Here’s how to use momentum to your advantage.
“When you’re that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can’t really tell whether you have created the momentum or it’s creating you.”
Annie Lennox
What is Momentum?
Momentum is the principle that an object will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. In other words, once you start something, it’s easier to keep going than start from scratch. This is why getting started on your goals as soon as possible is essential—the longer you wait, the harder it becomes.
How to Use Momentum to Stay Productive
The best way to use momentum to your advantage is to start small. Once you’ve started your goal, even if it’s just a little bit, your brain will begin working on ways to achieve it. This means that the longer you work on something, the easier it becomes. So don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results immediately—keep at it, and eventually, the momentum will take over.
Another way to use momentum to stay productive is by breaking down your goals into small pieces. When you have an essential goal that seems impossible to achieve, it can be overwhelming and discouraging. But when you break that goal into smaller steps, it suddenly doesn’t seem so daunting anymore. And as you check each small goal off your list, you’ll begin to build momentum that will carry you through to the end.
Momentum is a powerful tool that can help you accomplish anything you want. The next time you feel stuck, remember these tips and put momentum to work for you. Soon enough, you’ll cross items off your to-do list like a pro!
