1. Sing to yourself
為自己歌唱 Seriously.

Like laughter, sunshine, and fresh air; singing elevates our moods. Studies have shown that singing triggers a release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural way of chemically relieving pain and stress. When we’re happier, we get more done. This might be why Snow White likes to whistle while she works.
說真的，像微笑，陽光，新鮮的空氣，唱歌都能保持好心情。研究證明唱歌能激發身體釋放出一種荷爾蒙，這是身體自然的釋放減輕痛苦和釋放壓力的最自然方式。快樂的時候，我們能得到更多。這也許就是白雪公主在工作時唱歌的原因。

2. Visualize your success
讓你的成功變得明晰

It is a simple but useful motivational technique because when you form a picture of succeeding in your mind, you begin to see the possibility of reaching your goal.
很簡單，但是是很有用的激勵技巧，因為當你在頭腦里面有一個明確的樣子的時候，就開始看見夢想實現的可能性。

3. Keep a goal diary
記錄目標日記

Writing down your goals and reflecting regularly on their progress helps you to both focus on the desired outcome and holds you accountable. While financial stability is only one quantifiable way to measure success.
寫下你的目標，定期的反應你的進步能讓你關注想要的結果，敦促你自己。但經濟穩定是唯一一個反應成功的可量化方式。

4. Find a “study buddy”
找一個“學習伙伴”

While this can be a useful way to motivate students to complete homework, it can also work well for anyone who has a hard time settling down to work. While this might not work for everyone, I’ve always found that glancing up now and then to make a comment about something I’ve read does more than allow for a break in the action.
雖然這可能是激勵學生完成作業一個有用的方法,這對于那種有難安定下來工作的人來說也是極有校的。但這可能并不適合每一個人，我們總能發現先看一眼，然后就能繼續做那件我們承諾要做的事，而不會半途而廢。

5. Daydream
白日夢

Like the other visualization techniques we’ve talked about, this practice keeps your eye on the prize, and it’s a conscious form of procrastination unless you meet that deadline, which inevitably forces your mind back on work.
正如我之前提到的那些可視技巧一樣，這種方法也會讓你獲得注意力上的集中，也是一種有意識的避免在截至日以前的拖延，這種方法能有效的把你的思維拉回到工作中。
