When you don’t feel motivated, take the smallest step possible toward your goal. After taking that step, you’re more likely to continue taking more steps toward that goal. Instead of telling yourself to work out for an hour, say you’ll go for 10 minutes.

Give yourself a reward for each task you complete
Make a list of things you need to do and do the one you don’t want to do first. 35 (piece of candy, a few minutes on social media, etc.). Then do something on your list that you want to do and continue making changes from there. This makes your tasks less depressing.
