- 1. When you have lots to do but little or no enthusiasm to get it done, try using the timer method. In this method, you need to set 10 minutes as your time to complete the task on hand. This method kicks in motivation and you may find yourself extending the first 10 minutes by much more.
- 2. When you need to confront someone without offending them with the aim of getting the job done, try using passive voice. You could say, “The meeting was not fixed” instead of “You did not fix the meeting.”

- 3. If your aim is to get close to someone, try addressing them by their first names. You’ll find that the person responds to you instinctively. Take care as to not overuse this trick as it may backfire at times.
- 4. When you find something tough and boring to learn and imbibe, try teaching the same to someone else. It is quite likely that it will begin to resist in your mind as well.
- 5. When you are hoping to crack an important deal, and find that the other person is not quite forthcoming, just maintain eye contact and remain silent. You may find this person relenting albeit reluctantly.
