Read here if you are usually productive but at the moment are experiencing unproductive times

Everyone experiences unproductive days, no matter how productive you consider yourself to be. This happens because of the natural cycles in our bodies and minds. If you would be productive 24/7, you would very soon break down, therefore unproductive days are necessary for us to get our balance back.

Unproductive days are very beneficial to your mind and body because they refresh and restore you. During such days you should avoid any kind of stress and seek maximum relaxation. This way you will use your unproductive days to your advantage rather than getting worried about why you experience such times.

The best way to use your unproductive days is to totally relax one or two days and then engage in something you really enjoy. Going on holidays, painting, sunbathing or improving yourself in any way are perfect activities when you don't feel like working.

The great news is, if you use your unproductive days as I described, you will be totally refreshed and full of energy when these unproductive days are over. This will enable you to be more productive than you ever were when you eventually start taking more action.

The unproductive days used beneficially will recharge you, give you excessive energy and they might even give you a new outlook on your current tasks/problems. Because of that you will be able to more creatively deal with your tasks and tackle problems in a more effective way.

Read here if productivity is not your strongest trait

If you tend to be unproductive most of the times, it means some mental block or external influence is blocking you from productivity. It's important to identify such blocks so that you would be able to eliminate them.

Here are some reasons for your lack of productivity:

Lack of focus - when you don't have any goal to work for, you will end up doing many things at the same time and failing at most of them. This will create misery, self-doubt and eventually lack of productivity. It's essential to have a goal to work and live for, otherwise you will have many ups and downs without any visible improvement in your circumstances.

Lack of clarity - it's not enough to have a goal. Your goal, in order to be effective, needs to be very clear. For example, wanting to be wealthy won't get you anywhere because such goal is too abstract. The more specific your goal is, the more it will motivate you to take action, and so your productivity will continue to increase.

Goals that aren't what you really want - many people tend to make this fatal mistake of choosing their goals with minds rather than hearts. Yes, a latest sports car might look quite tempting, but is it what you really want in your heart? If you fail to choose a goal that's a genuine one, it will be a struggle to achieve it. You know that your goal is genuine when you get emotional when thinking about it.
