If you’re trying to stay productive this Ramadan, but you often lose focus here’s what you should do:
- Review your goals
Before starting Ramadan, we all had some goals. We want to please Allah and have our sins and mistakes forgiven. And that reminder should help you to stick with your productive routine and goals. Review your goals again, and remember why you’re doing all this. Think of your priorities and aims you have for both, this and next world.
- Think about the end.
Think of how time runs so fast. Think of how we always are amazed by how fast Ramadan ends and many of us even cry. So take into consideration every single day and work hard to get the best from it. Think about the end, you don’t want to feel regret for not working hard during this unique month, for not fulfilling your goals. For not performing the daily reading, dhikr, prayer and meditation. Focus more and don’t lose motivation, but reflect and give your all for reaching what has no price. Think of the Rayan door, how cool would feeling entering there be. It should motivate you to stay more organised.
- Take a rest
If you’re tired, it’s normal. Take a break, maybe a sleep, take some time to reflect or just meditate. It helps you to feel better and more relaxed. Maybe pray, a voluntary prayer which can help you sort out a lot of things. It is the amazing feeling of being in front of Allah, asking from Him motivation and inspiration to help you stick on His path.
- Talk to someone
Talk to friends, family members, maybe. It would be great if you compete with each other about reading the Quran, reading a book or memorizing a surah. Talk to your competitor, they might inspire you and don’t let you go down. Listen to someone maybe, who inspires you. You can also listen to our livestreams on youtube having special guests just to make sure to connect with you and keep you inspired during this Ramdan. Virtuality is a great way, so it can be a livestream, or you can even whatch a YouTube video from reminders shared in there from the Muslim community.
- Read
Read something. It can be the Qur’an in your language. Read something that you can understand. Something motivational and inspiring to you. You’ll feel better and more focused.
Motivation is a state that we often lack, and it comes with ups and downs. It really requires moments of reflection to take it back under control, but you can still control it as long as you never stop thinking about the end and the concept of limited time. You can still make this Ramadan great, just remember these techniques if you lose motivation for a moment.
