<p>Do you find yourself with things you just know have to be done but the thought of doing them fills you with a feeling of gloom, boredom or you just can&#8217;t be bothered even thogh you know you &#8220;should&#8221; do them?</p>
<p>When this happens, first ask yourself &#8211; why do I need to do this?  what positive effect will doing this have for me? </p>
<p>It may be that you are about to peel a host of potatoes and carrots and you just don&#8217;t like doing that but the positive outcome is that you are going to have a fantastic meal &#8211; thinking of the fantastic meal as you peel the potatoes will make you feel much better and will give the task a postive reason rather than a feeling of boredom as you do it.</p>
<p>You can also turn a monotonous, boring task into fun!  &#8211; How?</p>
<p>Make a game out of it!</p>
<p>For example, time yourself and keep trying to improve your time.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you have to peel 30 potatotes and carrots to peel</p>
<p>See how many potatoes you can peel in 3 minutes. Then try to beat your own record.</p>
<p>Or you can time yourself to see how long it takes you to peel one potatoe. And beat your record again!</p>
<p>The good thing is you will always be a winner. <img src='http://www.angiesworld.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>You can turn any boring task into fun game, there are lots of ways to do it, just use a little imagination!</p>
<p>Making tasks fun and keeping the positive benefits of doing a task in yoru mind as you do it is proven to increase motivation and productivity by more than 125%!</p>
<p>Build fun and see the positive outcomes of everything you do throughtout the day and you&#8217;ll notice that you&#8217;re getting more work done in a less amount of time.</p>
<p>Have a great day and remember to smile and notice all the wonderful things around you!</p>
