How to force yourself to start doing something sometimes seems like an irresolute task? And all of them, who do not understand how to start people, can, they all know how, but the only problem that is not so easy to deal with, as it might seem at first glance, is how to start cleaning, a book, a report, etc. Total five effective tips will help you deal with this problem and will prompt you how you can and should get yourself started.
Example: a novice writer needs to write an interesting book in three months, on which his future fate and career depend, and he has neither the desire, nor the inspiration, nor the understanding how to get himself started. Confused thoughts wander in the head, refusing to appear in the Word-document, and time goes on and goes on as usual, not going to postpone the joyless person.
1. Separation of the whole to begin
This is the very first and most important, if it concerns something more or less voluminous. It's one thing when you have to write a short story to a couple of pages for some magazine, another is a whole book, the number of pages that exceeds a hundred. Yes, the book itself is big and whole, noni is not hindering to divide it into chapters, after which to write to yourself calmly the beginning of one, then - when the mood appears - another, etc.
Always at the sight of a huge amount of work, people lose the desire to start it, even those who are usually able to do something with ease easily suffer. If there is a huge mountain of dishes, it is difficult for a person to start kyo purification. But if he decides for himself that first he needs to wash his tartrel, he will not notice how he gradually coped with all the china mountain. When it comes to cleaning - the same thing, first we have to start only for an individual, without thinking immediately on the whole scale - only one corner. Then everything will go.
2. Drawing up a plan and strategy
Where to start, who, where and why ... It's difficult to concentrate and get down to work, not knowing why the character is doing something now, why he went there and why he slept today, because in the end everything can not connect with a single logical thread and you will have to rewrite everything entirely because of a couple of important inconsistencies in the plot. The strategy is an extremely important thing, and you can apply it in all cases. If the accountant has a plan that he will record, one whole annotation, brief annotations to each chapter, in order to know where and about what to write, he will cope with any amount. In the end, inspiration will come right at the time of drafting, during the creation of a brief description, if this book is truly interesting for a person.
Let's return to a more squat example: to the dishes. Here the strategy is much simpler: it is enough to determine from which type to start (from a plate or pot, for example) to make it easier. It is always better to start with something lighter, gradually increasing the task. If a person needs to solve five tasks, and he can not do it, let him begin with the simplest. The brain will gradually warm up and will actively help in everything. Perhaps, this is considered a strategy there, to make a plan: first easy, then complicated.
3. Breaks
Whatever the inspiration, you need to periodically make at least a little respite. During his work, the writer sits, does not look up behind the laptop, scribbles letters, eyes are strained, the stomach is empty, and even a shortfall happens if you sit too long. Is the book worth the damage? No. Therefore, the needles should be allowed to rest, and the stomach should be saturated, and the brain should be distracted. Moreover, during the distraction, new worthwhile ideas may appear or the genius turn of the plot will come to mind.
Here it is worthwhile to clarify: if the case is small, do not have to constantly break, otherwise it will stretch for an indefinite time. But when it is necessary to do a lot, then the breaks are not only advisable, but obligatory; otherwise, you may get a complete aversion to the kind of activity that you are doing. You may have started it, but in the future you will not be able to touch more this type of work, at least for a long time. A small example with food: if a person is sick for three days from an overdue yogurt, for some time he can not even look at this kind of product. Perhaps later the person will again use it, but a week, a month, or even a year, yogurt will become an enemy №1.
4. Comfortable work place
There is only a laptop and the desire to write a book, but there is no convenient (and uncomfortable too) desktop, there is a drowsiness on the bed, the neighbor is constantly drilling something, and the planes regularly fly back and forth to the unfortunate writer who lives near the airport. What kind of creativity, what inspiration? The simplest and most obvious way out: go to the park, where to settle on a nice bench in the middle of the trees (if the case is in the summer, of course), then write the best book in your life, charging with the energy of the devastating nature.
Of course, here it all depends on the type of activity, but in any case you need a comfortable environment. For example, if you do not want to start making a pie, you need to buy yourself a pretty apron beforehand, and then the desire to prepare will appear itself to at the same time try on a new thing. Such small tricks are applicable everywhere, the main thing is to pick up something that is most comfortable, comfortable, pleasant and cozy.
5. The promise of sebenagra
After each chapter written, the writer must drink the post-picante of his favorite coffee, and after completing the book - he will allow himself to buy expensive brandy and cigars, although he did not take them before. Of course, the automatic reward will be money for the book, but at times the promise of a chocolate bar after the result is able to spur on greater feats than the cuts.
So, every time you can not force yourself to do something, just promise yourself a reward. It is not necessary for this to run to the store for something unusual: for example, you have candy houses. Let you take them at any time, but when you realize that you need to do something, you must forbid yourself to eat sweets until you finish. The forbidden fruit is awfully delicious, so you are guaranteed to want to finish everything you need as soon as possible, just to eat this delicious candy, despite the fact that yesterday you had eaten the sweets to the sick stomach.
So, these are the basic principles that help to tune in the necessary thing and proceed to it. Good luck and success to you in all your endeavors.
