If you’ve found yourself fighting to get through the work day, you’re not alone. A recent study from VoiceNation found that 37% of workers in the U.S. struggle with everyday tasks they are expected to complete. 

From burnout to few opportunities for professional growth, there are plenty of reasons workers feel unmotivated. Thankfully, there are effective techniques to increase your engagement at the office. Let’s take a look at five of them:

1. Reward yourself: If you reach a big milestone at work, take a pause and set aside time to do something relaxing like getting a massage or buying a new book. 
2. Remove distractions: Turn off Slack notifications and close your email while working on projects. These “work messages” can often distract you from completing your work! Set aside some time on the calendar each day to focus on responding to those notifications, and stick to that time.
3. Cultivate a sense of community: Try to get to know your co-workers better personally. When you find mutual interests with others, it can make the workday easier.
4. Stop comparing yourself to others: This is an easy way to kill your self-esteem. Focus on documenting your achievements as you accomplish tasks and finish projects, and look back on the list often.
5. Build your skills: If your company offers training opportunities, take them! Also consider attending a conference or registering for a certification course. Adding to your list of qualifications will help build your self-confidence.
