Staying motivated!

Something I think we can all agree on is that getting work done in the summer can be difficult.

I have previously been in the same shoes as you all before so I know that it can be hard to stay motivated at times! If you find yourself struggling, here are a few things that can help.

1. Try to assess what is going on If you find your work becoming very hard to complete, take a step back to assess your problem.

Maybe you are overworking yourself, or you need to delegate your time differently. If you can find the source of your problem, it becomes way easier to fix it!

2. Don't overwork yourself Have you ever heard the saying "don't bite off more than you can chew"? I know you all want to do everything you can to help your divisions and this organization, but it is important to remember not to overwork yourself. Remember, you have a whole team (aka the District Board) standing beside you, so if you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it!

3. Remind yourself why you are doing this One of the biggest things I did last year when I found myself unmotivated was remind myself what I was doing this for. I would remind myself that all the work I was doing went towards bettering my school, community, and even the world!

4. Take time for yourself Don't forget to leave some time for yourself to do the things that you enjoy. It is so important to take time away from your work to do things that you enjoy.

This prevents burnout and will make you feel way more productive when you come back to your work!

5. Talk to someone Finally, one of the best things you can do is just talk to someone about how you are feeling. If you are feeling overwhelmed with your workload, reach out to your ZA and/or one of the Executive Board members! We will always be here to offer you support every step of the way!

I have been in your shoes before, and although I may not understand exactly how you are feeling, I am always here for you!
