When we are being unproductive and wasting our time, we like to tell ourselves that what is missing is motivation. Intuitively, we think that to get something done, like writing that essay or working on that project. We need to summon up some mystical energy, this mental or emotional state, this motivation that gives us the spark to get started. But what if we’ve misunderstood the idea of motivation? What if we could reframe the idea and structure our lives in a way where we’d never need to worry about motivation ever again? Today we are going to talk about The Motivation Myth by Jeff Haden: How high achievers really set themselves up to win. And it is a book that tries to debunk some of the popular myths around motivation. And it talk about how we can kinda restructure our lives in a way that helps us to be happier, healthier and more productive. Using examples from his own life, along with lots of inspirational people that he is interviewed during his career, Jeff explains why we’ve all misunderstood motivation. And then he used this theory as a springboard to discuss other issues linked to success and happiness. Motivation is something you can creat yourself. Put in effort, you will improve, you will make progress, that feels good. And that gives you enough motivation to carry you to the next day so that you can get up and do whatever it is on your plan. Although there is loads of snippets of wisdom in the book… see you next day->
