I am in a busy season at work. I have been grinding hard for the last month, and there are a few weeks left until the craziness starts to subside.
Aside from the toll that long hours can take on your mental and physical strength, I also have to exert energy just figuring out what absolutely has to be done from a prioritization standpoint, and what might be able to wait. I also tend to get frustrated when unexpected things come up or things that turn into time wasters and sap my ability to get things done, which I try not to take out on my staff/co-workers, but that I am sure people can sense when dealing with me.
During these times, I do my best to stay motivated in order to increase my work output. The main thing that keeps me motivated is my family. I do feel bad for my reduced presence when I am slammed, but, thankfully, I have an understanding and supportive wife. I savor the time I do get to spend with my family even more when I am busy.
I also stay motivated by looking forward to fun activities or vacations. Music can help get me pumped up as well. Finding time for small breaks to do things I like – such as perusing Steemit, writing a blog post, having a cup of coffee, talking sports over lunch – can also keep me pressing on.
I do enjoy my work, so that help as well. I am interested to hear how others stay motivated during a busy season in life – what are your strategies?

All the while getting a steemit post in each day, sounds like a real grind!
Seems like your son is very motivated as well to help you. How old is he? I would like to know his name too 😊
When you work hard, and its visible for others as well, it will give you Freedom. That Freedom could be used n moments you need to relax. Creating your own time for other things then work.
Actually you should see things differently and think that there are people who spend more adversity than your brother, I always stop to read your posts where I see that you have a nice family and a good life so that's good, so simply everything happens constantly and if you try hard you will get what you want and I made a post.
your post really educative of motivation.i am agree with your opinion. A family is helpful when we are in bad times. When our mind is very bad, our family member doing to inspired of our work.your son really very cute.he always keeps of your mind happy.thanks to sharing of your good article post.. @brian.rrr
I like how your son has the safety glasses out, but he's not using them. :)
I try to prioritze the things that need to get done first. I also throw some easier tasks in there so even if they aren't important, I can feel like I'm getting something done. There's a good feeling in getting to cross something off your to-do list.
Man I feel you. The truth is, I just grind. The best way out of hell is through. HAHA. But family is #1 for me also. Being able to involve my family in my hobbies has been a blessing.
For now I do not have a strategy, work away from home I must travel every day I have approximaba 13 hours on the street which are 9 work and 4 way are sometimes a little more depends on how this road with the traffic I have reached spend more than 13 hours that is from Monday to Friday even if I do not have children yet because I do not have much time for me on weekends I go shopping for the house and that at the moment I have stopped cooking studies because if not only I will stay on Sundays but the routine exhausts a lot I like that you can have your time and stay motivated that's the idea but you have to know how to do it I think I still can not find the way
Jacob looks very nice builder does it well, I think not drowning in work is paramount for the family there are times where you need to be more at work but in the same way you must create a balance but very little happens to me yesterday I am a teacher and here in my country there are teachers for the mornings and others for the afternoon shift I work for the morning shift so I have all afternoon and weekends to be at home with my daughter very little we work in the afternoon unless they indicate some extra activity but for the rest I am always at home @brian.rrr
@brian.rrr you have all the reason in everything you say, sometimes when you work hard and are busy most of the time sometimes it is difficult not to be somewhat stressed, but it is always important to dedicate time to the family no matter how busy we are . The family, the children, are the ones who will always give joy to the person, I am not a father yet but for what I have learned it is so and when I am a father I will do as you do, I will work hard so that they do not lack anything, but also at the same time I will share and spend the longest possible time with them so that they always feel the warmth of one as a father. I liked reading what you do to relax a bit, listening to music, sharing with your children and wife, spending time in steemit and talking about sports in your free time is perfect. And personally there is nothing like sitting for a while to have a good cup of coffee listening to good music, that's what would relax me the most and what I would most like to make friends with. It is always important to work hard but at the same time always take small breaks to enjoy those things that always give joy to our lives.
I work from home, I dedicate myself to Steemit but I do the housework too, although I do not have an entry or exit schedule. I work a lot at home but let's say I have a little more time for myself and my children I have a year like this I was unemployed before I used to work from Monday to Friday 8 hours a day so I only had the weekends to be at home and the nights are very short, greetings to everyone in your house I see that Jacob has fun
Constantly reminding yourself of what keeps you motivated is a great way to never settle. It is much easier to grind if you are grinding for someone else :)
Friend Brian, there is no better motivation than the family! It is normal that as a parent and responsible for them you feel that concern, but while they are there, you will draw strength to take care of all the responsibilities. It does not matter so much the quantity, but the quality of the time you dedicate to it. Everything will pass, and you will be fine. By the way, Linda picture your son's, it looks like Bob The Builder. God bless your family. Best regards.
To stay motivated when I'm in a project, I try to have a little time to plant some plants in the garden, it's relaxing. I really like gardening, help with motivation and the environment.
My friend is really different in our business. I spend my day working almost 14 hours a day. I really miss my children and my family. They are the biggest motivator. I can follow them and sit with them only once a week so I can spend time with them.
All the best for you my dear friend @brian.rrr 👍👍😃
Your love for your family, your caring to your son is really amazing. dear @brian.rrr
