图片来源：leks，Pixabay 若你曾因在短期内遭受太多挫折而感到毫无动力，这里就有个重塑自信并恢复动力的简单途径：转换到你确定能实现完成的较小任务上，只做这样的任务一两天。把那些大项目暂时放到一边。先回归基础事务。 清洗你的冰箱。为汽车更换机油。剪个头发。做顿自己最喜欢的饭菜。为某人生日买个礼物。整理你的办公桌。洗净餐具。补充食物供应。核对你的账单。买下每个人都告诉你该看的那本书。将你最常用的软件升级到最新版本。清理你的网页浏览器书签。为你的伴侣做次按摩。或者发送一条快速反馈信息，让我知道有没有写出任何给你带来了改变的内容。或是向我建议未来该写的博客文章（我经常根据读者建议发布文章）。请直接去做大量能逐件完成的小事，积累一系列小的个人成就。 暂时尽可能多地做那些简单得要命的任务，无论它们与工作相关还是只属于个人事务。这会逐渐重塑你的自我形象，令你变成某位能顺利搞定众多任务的人士。因为行动可以诱发动力，你将开始感到有了更多一点积极性。另外你会享受到做完所有这些小任务带来的些许好处，那些好处还能不断叠加累积。 此外，请出色完成那些简单任务。给出个人最佳表现。让那些洗过的盘子闪闪发亮。若你正忙着大量体力事务，请播放你最喜爱的音乐。享受行动过程。别忘了这些都是简单任务。 一旦你开始对完成简单任务感到舒服自如，请逐渐升级到中等难度的任务。做些挑战更大一点的事情，无论如何都将其完成。若你又开始感觉挣扎，就再回归简单任务，继续做上一两天。逐步建立起前进势头，直到你能充满热情地回归个人最富雄心的项目。 我们都会不时感到缺乏动力。但没人必须沉湎于这种状态。它只是我们应当磨刀砺锯，更新自我的迹象。请回归基础任务之上，用众多小的胜利重新训练自己感到充满自信。虽然总做小型任务并非太好的长期策略，但它能补充你需要的短期有效推进力量，使你恢复强大动力，回归更具挑战性的工作。 Rebuilding Momentum After Setbacks If you ever find yourself feeling demotivated because of too many setbacks in a short period of time, here’s a simple way to rebuild your confidence and restore motivation: Switch to smaller tasks you’re certain to achieve, and just do those for a day or two. Put the big projects off for a moment. Get back to the basics. Clean out your refrigerator. Get an oil change for your car. Get a haircut. Cook your favorite meal. Buy a gift for someone’s birthday. Organize your desk. Do the dishes. Restock your supplies. Balance your checkbook. Buy that book everyone is telling you to read. Upgrade your most frequently used software to the latest versions. Clean up your web browser bookmarks. Give your significant other a nice massage. Maybe send me a quick feedback to let me know if anything I’m writing is making a difference for you, or shoot me a suggestion for future blog entries (I make frequent posts based on reader suggestions). Just do lots of little things you can complete one by one, racking up a series of small personal accomplishments. Temporarily stick with dead-simple tasks as much you can, whether they’re work-related or just personal. This will gradually rebuild your self-image as someone who competently gets things done. You’ll start feeling just a little more motivated because action induces motivation. Plus you’ll enjoy the small benefits of completing all these little tasks, and those can add up. Moreover, do a really good job on these simple tasks. Do your very best. Make those dishes shine. If you’re doing a lot of physical tasks, put on your favorite music. Enjoy the process. Remember these are easy tasks. Once you start feeling pretty good about getting these simple tasks done, graduate to medium-sized tasks. Do something a little more challenging, and get it done no matter what. If you start floundering, drop back to the simple tasks and stick with them for another day or two. Gradually build your momentum until you can enthusiastically return to your most ambitious projects. We all get demotivated at times. But no one has to wallow in this state. It’s just a sign that it’s time to sharpen the saw. Get back to basics, and retrain yourself to feel confident again with lots of small victories. While working on minor tasks isn’t a great long-term strategy, it can provide the short-term boost needed to return to more challenging work with a strong drive.
