21. Here’s 10 ways YOU can get UNSTUCK MOVING and PRODUCTIVE again

22. 1. Get Real Think how many decisions you’ll make in your life. In a year’s time this will seen minor, so why not just do it? “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” —Churchill

23. 3. Get Physical Stand, stretch, go for a run, walk your dog - physical movement increases the flow in your circulatory system, releases feel-good neurotransmitters (like Dopamine, and Serotonin) and puts you in a positive mood. “Exercise is like fertilizer for the brain…it’s so good it’s like Miracle Gro.” —John Ratey, Ph.D

24. 3. Take a Break When you focus your attention on a task completely unrelated, your mind can return to the original task refreshed with a new perspective. "Never taking a break from thought work actually reduces your ability to be creative" —Kimberly Elsbach, Ph.D

25. 4. Stop Doing List What is filling your time AND holding you back? Make a list of low-value tasks and routines that eat up your time —either drop, delegate, or dump them. “The "stop doing" list became an enduring cornerstone of my annual New Year resolutions.” —Jim Collins Ph.D

26. 5. Change Your Environment Clear desk clutter, work from a local cafe, use paper instead of computer—sometimes a change is as good as a start. "As a species, humans have evolved to respond to novelty, once we've become accustomed to something, we may grow immune to its effects.” —Hugh Thompson, Ph.D

27. 6. Be Kind to Yourself It’s easy to blame yourself—don’t. You’ve been here before and you are capable. Have faith that you will get through this as well. “Practicing self-compassion provides us with the kind voice and warm embrace we need in difficult times so we courageously do the right thing.” —Forbes

28. 7. Let Go of The Past It’s hard to get started when your focus is on what didn’t work in the past. Take a deep breath, let it go and focus on what you want to create today, for the future. “Once we start a task, it is rarely as bad as we think.” —Tim Pychyl, Ph.D

29. 8. Get Advice Usually we can’t see the forest for the trees—we’re too close to the problem. Ask a good friend, hire a coach, ask on-line. And then listen. “When you ask for advice, people do not think less of you; they think you are smarter.” —Maurice Schweitzer, Ph.D

30. 9. Create a Deadline A little tension (like a deadline) can move mountains. Commit to making a decision (no more than two days), do it and then start moving mountains. “Deadlines allow us to clarify our thoughts and create an action plan.” — Dan Ariely, Ph.D

31. 10. Create Tiny Wins Frustrated about sales? Call one prospect. Want to lose weight? Start walking 20 minutes a day. Need to apologize? Write a card. Any forward motion is a Tiny Win worth celebrating. “When you feel good about what you did, your brain will change. It will want to do the behavior again in the future. That leads to making the habit stronger.” —B.J. Fogg, Ph.D
