      Sir Isaac Newton proposed his First Law of Motion, the law of inertia, in 1687: A body at rest tends to remain at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Bodies will continue in their current state, whether at rest or in motion, unless acted on by a greater outside force.

    1. A body in motion stays in motion. Force yourself to move; the momentum will keep you going.
    2. Visualize the end result & how good you will feel after you complete the task.
    3. Make your task enjoyable, e.g. listen to music/audiobooks,
    4. Amp yourself up to the task by planning rewards.
    5. Brain dump. Write down everything on your mind that you want to get done this week, month etc to avoid feeling overwhelmed & know where to get started.
    6. Time yourself when you do tasks that you dread & procrastinate on. You will realize they don't take much time & will be more motivated to do them again.
    7. Take time to rest (but don't overdo it). Don't make rest your reward; take pride in your work instead & enjoy the sense of accomplishment.
    8. Illustrate progress. Check things off your to do list as you complete them.
    9. Stop multitasking; it actually slows your productivity & tires your brain quicker.
    10. Learn to hit reset.
    You don't need to wait until tomorrow or next Monday. Do it now (First, acknowledge that you need to reset. Second, start fresh).

      I often have the same problem. What has helped for me is to reframe why I really SHOULD do my hobby. I draw and play piano. But if I do these fun activities only because they are fun, then I feel guilty that I'm not getting my work done. On the other hand, if I do these fun activities because they will help my brain to stay young and sharp, then I can justify setting aside some time every day to enjoy them. I think if you find a real justification that you believe in and that motivates you, you'll be okay with spending time on your hobbies.

    I just want you to know this made me cry a bit. I'm a first time mom, working full-time from home with my baby during COVID and I've struggled a lot and keep getting overwhelmed. I was about 4 or 5 months pregnant when the country first shut down and most people didn't even find out I was pregnant until we were already social distancing so I didn't get any of the help that I normally would've gotten from friends and family and have been pretty overwhelmed since before LO came. I appreciate you starting the video with telling us about only seeing the "highlights", it makes me feel better that others (even CZcams personalities) struggle too and that there are things you can do to help get your life back on track.

    You are such an inspiration!!! THANK YOU!
    Your posts are so full, but not too full, of succinct encouragement and tools to make life work .
    The effect you have on me is the effect I want to have on others in my life and on my youtube channel.
    Your courageously positive approach to the difficulties of life, that shut me down for decades, help me hope to get my life right before I turn back into dust. I am 63, I have 5 children and 7 grandchildren. I have yet to feel like I have made the contribution in life that would allow me to believe I lived well.
    Your mother must be so proud of the person of inte-grit-y you choose to be each day.
    You are beautiful inside and out and yet you do not post seductive pictures of you to grab views.
    You dress with class and self respect. It shows you have confidence in your value as a person. You know that your youth, beauty, and body do not define your contribution in life. Your actions and wisdom do. You are a beautiful example of a confident woman of intelligence, wisdom, and grace

    A couple weeks ago, I was avoiding a particular task. I put it off for two weeks. I finally told myself that I was going to sit down and do it! I proceeded to do NOT do it for another hour. I managed to make myself start and happened to look at the clock when I did. I blasted through it without a problem, and when I ended I looked up at the clock to realize only 25 minutes had gone by. 25 minutes! Two weeks of procrastinating for 25 minutes!

    I usually spend 30 minutes in the morning on walking around my house doing small task... then I have my coffee so by this time I’m more awake... and it helps me have more energy through out my day... hope that made sense 😂

    I'm a huge list maker and brain dumper. When I'm feeling particularly unproductive I switch my list making to night time. I buy a new spiral notebook and open it up so I have a page on the left and a page on the right. At the end of the day, I write on the left side, everything that I got done that day. On the right, I make my to do list for the following day. This helps me go to bed feeling really accomplished and not worrying about what I need to do the next day because my list is already made. It's amazing how much we get done in a day even if we're not checking off our list items. When I feel under appreciated, I leave this out for my husband to see. It usually helps, lol. Great idea to time yourself doing tasks. I know I think about it way longer than it would take to get it done. Thanks for the great tips.

    I’m a disabled cancer survivor. What I mean is that chemo for leukemia left me with my nerves and my hands and feet fried. It’s called CIPN, which is chemo induced peripheral neuropathy. My hands and feet burn at a level 8 from 1-10 ten being the most pain..I’m like this 24/7 for almost 8 years now. If ANYTHING else is bothering me from being upset to period, to a cold is going on, it increases the already constant 8 pain higher. Now that being said, YOUR VIDEO INSPIRED ME…. AFTER watching this, I thought about what you said for days. Every time I was too tired or burning too much to get up, I thought about “A BODY IN MOTION STAYS IN MOTION “ and what you said. I actually ended up writing it on paper and posting it on my wall. (This Will be turned into a pretty beach wall art to match the theme of my house so I can keep it up and look nice.) THANK YOU!! Sometimes I need a bit of KALLIE inspiration!!

    One of my productivity hacks is to allow myself to do a task slowly. I use this tool a lot at the end of the day when I’m tired or just getting off work. My thought is that doing the dishes slowly (so it feels easier) is better than not doing it at all. And it’s a way to feel like I’m taking a break even though I’m not entirely stopping!

    Thank you. I needed some motivation, and you have some good suggestions. One thing I've found similar to your anytime reset is that I was saying, "It's too late to do anything tonight. I'll do it tomorrow." Then I started doing tasks at night. As long as it doesn't take too long, it works.

    the tip about not consider the rest as reward is really true. for example after doing the chores we can look at the clean room and take time to enjoy the new environment and consider it as the real reward. it motivate deep in the mind that the task is really good and you dont need to wait to the break time to enjoy life. you enjoy the result of tasks.

    "Staying in motion" has been so helpful lately: since I work from home, it's awfully easy to get up from the desk and go right to the couch at the end of the day. But if I take out the trash, water some plants, empty the sink, etc before I know it I've done a lot of small stuff with a big impact 🤩

      Well, you are motivated at work by a paycheck to be productive. Find what motivates you at home. Like Kallie says, visualize what it will look like after getting tasks done + think what it will feel like if you don’t. I would do that and then tell myself my judgemental mother-in-law might drop in unexpectedly. That thought was my motivation! Let that feeling of pride in your accomplishments become a goal so that a knock on the door isn’t going to ruin your day. Fill in the blank for yourself where I put “a knock on the door”.

Sadly in an Apartment the trash involves me having to get in my car and driving to it. Great tips. Any good tips when deep depression is involved? I lost my daughter & granddaughter. Then my husband of 29 yrs. then my health. Breast cancer a 2nd time involving surgery or 2 or 4! And a random collapsed lung. I lost my house. Yes I have a great Therapist. I know I NEED positive motivation. This was 2012-2014. You’ve helped me in so many ways! Your humor and facial expressions crack me up! Hearing myself laugh, feeling myself laugh is such a good thing. A “me” in laughing motion tend to stay laughing motion thanks to you! Finally (sorry for the novel) the last bit about “reset” was just what I needed to hear.

    I started watching lying on the settee, but you always inspire me; so I got up and thought not about all the things I couldn't do with no mobility; but what I could do... so I went into the bedroom with the laptop and folded the clothes whilst sitting down.

The 15 minute cleaning hack I got from the Fly Lady, which seriously helped me change my perspective on cleaning. Then your "Restart" is just like MommaStrong's "Begin Again" which is an amazing outlook, cause life gets interrupted by EVERYTHING.

    I use the 30 30 plan to get a bunch done without burning out. Set timer 30 minutes for a task then 30 minutes for rest/tv or social media browsing the 30 for task and on and on. You get more done with the 30 minute deadline and enjoy the downtime more since it is also limited and you don't feel guilty.

    "Brain Dump" is a great hack. Used a version of it a few months ago when my flights to get back home were messed with for a second time (I had two lay overs) and I didn't know if I could get back in the country or not (I'm in New Zealand). I listed everything that could go wrong. I saw there were only 4 or 5 situations that could've happened, and reminded myself that whatever happened was out of my control and people were there to help if needed. Great anxiety reliever!
