Funny ways to say keep going

Halfway through a task, a little encouragement goes a long way. Here are 15 funny ways to say keep going, for friends and teammates, a few dramatic declarations, mock-official ones from the Department of Doubt, and simple ones that always work.

For friends and teammates

• "Keep going. You are past the boring middle bit, and the good part is just ahead." A map of the task.
• "Keep going. That pile of laundry is clearly losing confidence." Tidy-up morale.
• "Do not stop now. The last part is the part where you get to say you finished." The best part.
• "Keep going. I am supporting you quietly from over here so I do not break your focus." Considerate support.

Dramatic declarations

• "The halfway point has been passed. There is no turning back now, only forward." Brave and direct.
• "Onward! The project has started to fear you." Momentum.
• "Every box you tick deserves a little drumroll. Keep ticking." Drumroll, please.
• "This tidy-up will be remembered for years. Well, by me. Keep going." One witness is enough.

Mock official

• "The Department of Doubt was asked whether you should stop now. It did not think so. Keep going." Doubt says carry on.
• "Notice: progress has been detected. Please continue in the same direction." Sounds like a form. Reads like a nudge.
• "Form 156 confirms that this task is more done than it was an hour ago." Measured progress. Very official.

Simple and kind

• "Keep going, you are doing great." Always works.
• "You are nearly there." Short and warm.
• "Keep it up, it is looking good." Good for work too.
• "Take a breather if you need one, then keep going." Kind and practical.

Keep it light

1. Keep it short. They are busy, so one line and then let them work.
2. Name one thing that is going well. "The first half looks great" means more than a general cheer.
3. A break is allowed. Encouragement is not pressure, so a pause is part of keeping going.
