We've all had those days at work where just can't seem to get into it. Maybe we're having a hard time staying focused, maybe we're feeling particularly exhausted, or maybe we're even just plain bored.

Whatever the reason is, off days happen to everyone at some point. When we have no motivation to work, a few hours at the office can seem like a lifetime of misery, and we can start to get down ourselves for not living up to our fullest potential.

Don't panic!

While it's normal to have our off days, we don't have to be stuck in a rut forever. Here are seven reasons why you're feeling burnt out, and what you can do to get motivated to work again.

1. You're too busy

In our modern work culture, being busy is often seen as a status symbol - it shows that you're in high demand and trusted with a lot of tasks. While this validation might be good for your self esteem, spending your entire waking life in "work mode" can lead to you feeling burnt out, and thus, unmotivated.

Many people think that working to their highest potential means trying harder to outwork others and taking on more responsibilities than necessary. While doing so can reward you short-term results, it can also be extremely draining.

What can you do address this motivation-killing issue? Take more breaks throughout the day and prioritize your work. Go for a walk or run, have lunch somewhere other than your desk, and heck, take a nap if you need to. Sometimes the best way to stay focused or find answers to our work-related problems is to just take a step away for a moment.

Make sure to take your breaks at the right time. For instance, if your energy is at its peak in the morning, focus on your toughest challenges for the day during that window to make the best use of your productivity. Once you've accomplished your biggest or most daunting projects, take a break for a few minutes to recharge your brain.

2. You have a hard time getting started

Trying to get to work on a project when you just don't even know where in good gravy to start is a total motivation-drainer. We've all heard that getting started on a big task or challenging project is the hardest part, and once you actually get into the swing of it, the whole thing can seem a lot less intimidating.

To build up your motivation, take steps to increase your productivity. The key to staying motivated when you can't figure out how to approach a project is to eliminate the barriers that keep you from getting started in the first place.

For example, if you have a hard time pulling the trigger on writing an article, sometimes it helps to just write the first sentence - it doesn't even have to be good! You can always go back and change it, but getting started will help you get into the groove of working.

Try to create a routine that helps you ease into the workday and build momentum. If drinking coffee makes you feel more productive, make sure to brew a cup - or three - to help you transition into work mode.

If coffee isn't your thing (you're living a lie), try meditating or listening to your favorite song. This is great way to get your brain in the mood to work and organically move into a productive state of mind.

3. You have a hard time separating work from your personal life

Before smartphones took control of our lives, leaving your work at the office was the standard, and taking work home with you required additional effort and planning. Nowadays, we have access to our work email sitting in our pockets, so we're still psychologically and physically connected.

It can be difficult to remove work from our brains when we're not physically at the office, especially if we're in the midst of a big project or have a lot on our plate. To fix this issue and rebuild your motivation for work, simply leave your work at the office. Yes, it's really that easy.

After work hours, limit the time you spend checking your email or doing anything work-related. If that requires locking your smartphone away in a drawer so you're not tempted to respond to emails, go ahead and lock that bad boy away. Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow.

4. You're emotionally exhausted or detached - or both!

If you mentally check out while you're at work and can't remember a single dang thing you did once you get home, it's probably safe to say that you feel emotionally disconnected from your job.

Feeling like your work matters and feeling a connection to your coworkers can have a huge effect on how motivated we are at work. Don't underestimate the impact your emotional needs have on your motivation level - teams that that trust and respect each other tend to be happier and more productive workers.

How can we address this motivation-drainer? By reconnecting with your work and your coworkers. Remind yourself of why your work is important to you and what you expect to gain as far as career goals. If you need to connect with your colleagues, make an effort to talk to them - get to meetings early to engage in small talk, or just strike up light conversations throughout the day.

5. You're not making good use of your personal time

After a full day of being productive (or being semi-productive, at least), it can seem tempting to completely shut down your brain and take to netflix for the remainder of your day. Spending your off-hours being a total couch potato can be relaxing, but it can also rob you of your motivation to get back to work the next day.

How can you fix this? Instead of dedicating your free time to being as unproductive as possible, try to engage in rewarding activities that you can look forward to at the end of a long day.

Maybe this means that you make plans to set aside time to work on your One Direction fanfiction erotica after work, or maybe you schedule an intense game of Settlers of Catan with your friends once a week. Engaging in an activity that takes a little more effort than laying down and staring at screen gives you more energy.

6. You're mentally and physically exhausted

It's hard to work to our fullest potential when we're just totally drained of energy. After working for so many days in a row, especially if you've been spending a lot of time on a particularly challenging project, sometimes we just need a break.

To get back your motivation, take a long weekend or a mental health day. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and not taking the steps to address it can lead to poor performance, and that's not good for anyone.

Taking a day off everyone once in awhile is great for reducing stress and getting your mojo back. But on your days off, don't check your email or call the office. They'll be there when you get back.

7. You just need a new dang job

If you've tried all of these super helpful tips already and just can't seem to make yourself give a hoot about your work, it might be time to start looking for a new job.

If you feel that you're not making progress in your job, then you might want to talk with your manager about trying out a new position or department. If you feel like your work just totally doesn't matter and your job is robbing you of all your energy and happiness, it might be time to hit the road and find a new career path.

Are you feeling motivated yet?

If you're feeling bored and blasé about your work more often than you feel excited about it, it's time to get yourself out of that slump. Sometimes it just takes some simple reflection to figure out why we have no motivation to work anymore, and then we can get back in the swing of things.

Remember to set boundaries for keeping work out of your personal life, do things that excite you, and take a break every now and then. And remember that if you're constantly feeling depressed and uninspired by your job, it might be time to reconsider your career path.

Whatever the cause may be, getting your motivation back just takes a few simple steps, and if you find yourself questioning what you should do with your life make sure to check out these articles:

How to Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique

I chose this video because it will help improve a shorter work time(hopefully). The video starts by saying that if you cannot explain something simply, then you don't get it. Explaining something can help you understand and learn quicker about that subject. It also can challenge how much you know about that subject. In doing so you won't waste lots of unnecessary amount of time looking over notes that you might not end grasping. It very helpful in many ways mostly in a timely manner and that's why I have included this.

This ties in greatly with ways to learn faster and is said to not downgrade in quality of work. This not only helps with your school work but other tasks as well.
(I actually use the third tip, whoa!)

The crucial skill in today's business world is surely the ability to work really fast. The problem is though that too often when people try to get things done quickly their quality of work really suffers.

So how can you double the speed at which you work and still keep your work quality high? Try these 4 techniques:
1. Use A Timer On Every Major Task
One of the most pertinent concepts in business is Parkinson's Law, which states that "Work expands to fill the time allotted for it". If you leave the amount of time you'll devote to a task open ended, then you will almost always take more time to complete it. Conversely, if you set a clear amount of time to do each task, you'll work far more rapidly, as you attempt to beat the clock.

As an added bonus, if you challenge yourself like this you will more often experience Flow, the state identified by the esteemed human performance expert Professor Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi as strongly correlated with feelings of well being. In other words, you'll not only be much more effective you'll be happier too.
2. Pretend Your Day Ends At 11am
Each morning when you start work, behave as though you can no longer work past 11am. If you knew you had to go home at that point, yet you still wanted to achieve some really worthwhile jobs, what would you do? Create a small list then start on those important tasks immediately. The 11am technique works brilliantly because it forces you to take action quickly on what really counts.

The average person has done virtually nothing of consequence by 11am: they have chatted with their co-workers, checked their emails, grabbed a coffee and perhaps planned their day. They then complain they don't have enough time to get their job done! Start fast and you'll be amazed what you can achieve by 11am.
3. Work At Home For An Hour Each Day
In most companies the corporate offices are not actually good environments for getting work done. The interruptions are constant, the emails ever growing and with most open plan offices the noise is often agitating. You would have to have the concentration levels of a Chess Grandmaster to achieve a lot in such a situation. To counteract this problem, allocate 60 minutes each morning to working quietly at home, getting as many tasks as possible done before you journey into work. Put your focus on tasks that demand quality thinking time and push yourself to get as much done as possible. Only then should you head into your office. Try this simple technique for 2 weeks and you'll be stunned by how much more speedily you get things done.
4. Try To Do Unimportant Tasks Within Ten Minutes
You will never reach a high state of achievement if you give the same time importance to tasks of low value as you give to those of high value. Yet so many people do exactly this. Numerous times a day they give trivial tasks more time than they rightly deserve, then find they are short of time to get the crucial stuff done.

You must get through those unimportant jobs at break neck speed - do them only well enough that people don't complain. The work day is just too short and your To Do List just too long for you to give trivia more than the bare minimum of time. Several times a day set yourself the goal of getting this unimportant stuff done in ten minutes or less. This technique alone can often give you an extra 90 minutes a day.

How much faster could you work than you are currently doing? I think many people could literally double what they get done each week. These four techniques are a great start to helping you achieve the super high level of effectiveness that we are all capable of.

This is pretty straight forward, I chose this video for the sake of time. The first tip is to read often. That's something that is pretty much common knowledge. This method is something that's more time consuming over a period of a longer time. More faster tips is to skim read, mostly for text books, and to pay more attention to the first and last sentences. It's supposed to summarize what the paragraph should be about.
