4 Reasons Why You Can't Stay Motivated At Work

Do you wake up every single morning and jump out of bed, excited to start another day of work? Probably not, most people don’t. It’s fairly normal to have bad days sometimes and sometimes, you just can’t be bothered with going to work.

But if you wake up every morning and you absolutely dread going in and you have no motivation to do anything, you have a bigger problem on your hands. Lack of motivation is something that we all feel from time to time, but if it becomes your constant state, it can start to have a big impact on your career and your life in general.

Usually, there is a root cause for your lack of motivation and if you can work out what that is, you can fix things. These are some of the reasons why you have no motivation at work. 

You’re In The Wrong Job 

The most common, and perhaps most obvious reason that you have no motivation is that you’re in the wrong job. If you don’t like what you do and you don’t feel that you’re making a positive contribution to the world, it’s hard to put the effort into it.

For some people, a job is just a job and they don’t mind if it’s not that interesting to them, but others can only get motivated if they’re passionate about something. If you think that’s you, and you hate your current job, it's time to make a career change.

You don’t want to spend the rest of your working life doing something that you hate, so it’s better to start again in a field that you’re more passionate about. 

You Skipped Breakfast 

A lot of people skip breakfast because they get up late and don’t have time to eat, or maybe they just don’t get that hungry in the mornings. You’ve probably heard people say that it’s the most important meal of the day but you may still be underestimating the importance of eating a healthy breakfast and the impact that it can have on your whole day.

If you start the day without eating, you will lack energy and that can carry through to the afternoon. Even if it’s something small, make sure you eat something healthy before you start the workday. 

You Haven’t Slept 

Lack of sleep is an issue that so many people struggle with, and it’s a big motivation killer. If you’re exhausted because you only slept a few hours the night before, you’re not getting anything done.

It’s important that you leave work at the office and find a way to wind down and get a good night’s sleep if you want to stay motivated. 

You’re Burned Out 

When you work too hard and you don’t take enough breaks, you are likely to suffer from work related burnout. Stress levels hit the roof and your body and brain just decide that enough is enough, and your motivation disappears.

People think that they’re being more productive by working long hours without breaks, but it just isn’t true. If you are feeling unmotivated, try taking some time for yourself and see if it makes a difference. 

If you are having a hard time staying motivated at work, these are some of the most likely reasons for it.
