8 Ways To Get Things Done

The science of how to get yourself unstuck.

Motivation is a myth…

❌ It doesn’t build long-term habits
❌ It tricks you into waiting
❌ It comes and goes

The truth? Progress is built on habits.

✅ Show up daily
✅ Build momentum
✅ Create lasting change

We’ve all had moments when we need to
get things done but we just don’t feel like it.

That’s when neuroscience and psychology help.

Use these 8 science-backed ways to get
yourself going again:

1. Break tasks into tiny steps.
↳ Break your work into pieces that take less time.

2. Visualize the end result.
↳ Close your eyes and picture the task completed.

3. Change your environment.
↳ A change of scenery can reset your mind.

4. Focus on just starting.
↳ Tell yourself to begin for just 5 minutes.

5. Use visual reminders.
↳ Use progress bars to track small wins.

6. Reward yourself after small wins.
↳ Reward yourself after finishing a small task.

7. Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique.
↳ Count down from 5 and then take action.

8. Reframe your thinking.
↳ Shift your mindset from “I have to” to “I get to.”

It’s not about grand gestures or heroic efforts.
It’s about showing up even when motivation fades.

That’s how real change happens.
That’s how you get things done.

Start small. Build momentum as you go.

You can do it 💪
