Strategies to build motivation
- Action First, Motivation Second: Motivation often follows action, not the other way around. Start working for just 10 minutes to overcome initial inertia. - Set Small, Specific Goals: Instead of daunting, vague goals, create small, achievable tasks to build momentum. - Identify Your "Why": Connect tasks to your deeper values and personal passions, which strengthens internal motivation. - Change Your Environment: Move to a new location, such as a coffee shop or a different room, to break through mental blocks. - Use Body Doubling: Work alongside someone else, even virtually, to increase.
