One of the most important aspects of working on a personal project, whether it’s to develop new skills or improve your portfolio, is maintaining your motivation, especially over an extended period of time.
I’m currently working on a significant new personal project (details to be revealed later this year) and I’ve found these tips to be extremely helpful during my journey:
• Using focusing techniques to stay on track and hold my attention.
• Keeping my distractions under control e.g. by putting my phone on silent.
• Setting goals and estimations so my pathway is clearly outlined.
• Staying organised with my workspace and personal/professional to-do lists.
• Taking regular breaks to decompress and declutter my mind.
• Maintaining a positive mindset even in the face of unexpected setbacks.
• Always keeping an eye on my work-life balance; self-care is essential.
• Celebrating my wins, small and large.
I hope some of these tips have resonated with you, thank you for reading!
