Am i the only one who has no motivation at work?

Question

I feel bad for saying it but I litterally sit at my desk and feel so unmotivated to do work. I have so much to do and i keep procrastinating killing time etc.
Ever experienced this? What should i do ??

Answer

I’m feeling this way lately. It’s bc I have an overwhelming amount of work, I’ll never be caught up. I mean granted I still do work pretty well but I do find myself taking more breaks bc I feel overwhelmed by it all! It just makes me feel unmotivated knowing I’ve got so much to do and it feels like I’m getting no where.
In the past when I’ve been more caught up, I always felt more motivated. I know it’s just bc I’ve got sooo much to do and i bet that plays a factor in your unmotivated feelings too!

Answer

That’s me. Burnt out and overwhelmed

Answer

If you like your job/employer then figure out a way to take a time management course or something similar that will help you learn to focus and set tasks and complete them. 
If not, do yourself, your co-workers, and your employers a favor and just quit. It’s hard on co-workers especially to pick up the slack from an unmotivated peer. It also is demoralizing for others to see someone on the daily who doesn’t want to work. You don’t want to contribute to building resentment with the people around you.

Answer

All the time. I love what I do but hate my coworkers. They are lazy/slow and I am getting tired of always picking up the slack. Talking to management goes no where and no one is held accountable. I'm to the point of why should I work so hard when no one else does?

Answer

I make or update my never ending to do list and I find something easy to complete and check off to give myself a sense of accomplishment.  
I set timers.  Work on this for 15 minutes and then I can goggle whatever it was I was thinking about. Usually I find myself in a groove and then extend the timer another 15 minutes.  
If I really need to focus I will put myself on invisible for Teams messaging but let my boss or other important people know I'm there I just don't want distractions from the general population at work.
I set break times and take them.
If I get a meeting invite that's not critical or is more informational I decline and ask the organizer to send a recap and let me know if any follow ups are assigned to me. 
I will close email so I don't get distracted by every one that comes in.
When all of this has failed in the past it was time to ask myself what's really the issue? Am I uninterested in the work? Am I not challenged? Is it time to move on?

Answer

Do some reality checks: what are the consequences of you not doing your work?
Do you care?!
If you’d lose your job tomorrow how would it impact you? Do you care?
Are you interested in something else ?
Is it because other people are slacking and you are in a demoralizing environment?  ( this happenned to me)

Answer

Yep. I spent the last year of my job of 15 years looking busy while doing nothing before I finally quit. Burn out from lack of challenge, interest, rewards, excitement. It finally all culminated in what they’re calling quiet quitting before I threw in the towel

Answer

Yes every single day. My job is boring and I hate it. I also have adhd so I always procrastinate. But it pays well and I have a 1 year old so I need the consistent schedule. Maybe it’s time to look for something else?

Answer

Yup. I wfh but can’t concentrate. I like my job and being remote but have been in a funk the last week

Answer

Do you enjoy your job still? Maybe it's time to look for a new horizon?
