It is imperative that you know what you have to do each day. At the end of each workday, I make a list of the next day's activities listing the most important things first. This way, I have a clear-cut guideline for the day. I provide myself with a reasonable timetable to complete the tasks. For example, if I have correspondences that must go out, I include the time it will take me to write, print out, and mail the letters as well as the time it will take to buy stamps and envelopes if necessary.
Stress is another reason people avoid work.
There are several things you can do to keep your stress level down. Break large jobs into several parts and complete each one step by step. Working in short spurts with break times can also alleviate stress. Most importantly, think positively and reward yourself when you do a task well. Keeping motivated will be a lot easier when the job does not seem overwhelming and the results of good work begin to show.
