2. Do Research About the Task Ahead
Try to learn from others who’ve been in similar situations, paying particular attention to how they solved difficulties they encountered.
3. Act Like You’re Motivated
Act like you’re motivated, even if you don’t feel it yet. Adopt a mind-over-matter attitude. Physically acting it out will actually make you feel motivated after a while.
4. Start Slow
When you’re daunted by a seemingly difficult job, it’s easy to make the mistake of seeing it with a sense of urgency. Either of two things can happen: you don’t get started at all because you’re too intimidated, or you speed up and wear yourself out, leaving it unfinished. Start slow, instead, and have a realistic outlook about the task.
