How to stay motivated during Covid

Whether you’re looking for your next hire or your next big break, it can be hard to stay motivated with the influx of competition, video calls replacing face to face and a second lockdown looming.

Here are our top 5 tips to keep you engaged;

Set goals

Outline what you need to achieve and commit to it.
The SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-based) goal framework allows you to set objectives and layout a clear road map to help you reach your goals.

Say hello

The buzz of the office is often what picks you up and keeps you going throughout the day. Keep the energy up by setting aside time to talk to team members. Get creative, it could be a 10 minute catch up to kick start the day or how about a virtual lunch.

Stick to the plan

What are goals without a plan? Having a plan will give you a realistic chance at succeeding.

Time management

Maximise every single minute and use time to your advantage. It is your best resource after all.
Start the day by creating a to do list, go through and prioritise tasks and allocate a time for each.

Stay positive & reward yourself

A clear head gets ahead. Take a break, go outside, soak up the fresh air and move those legs. Something as little as a 15 minute break can make a big difference to your headspace.

Find out what motivates you and reward yourself. Whether it’s caffeine, cake or both, perhaps you can tie it in with your daily outing.
