To be successful, one must be motivated––motivated to work hard, put in long hours, show grit. That’s how we achieve our goals, how we accomplish anything worthwhile.
The question, then, is how do we combat our natural lazy tendencies to motivate ourselves to work tenaciously?
1) 🔔 Remind yourself of the bigger picture.
2) 🔔 Break a big goal into smaller goals.
3) 🔔 Reward yourself when you accomplish those goals.
4) 🔔 Pay attention to metrics and user feedback.
5) 🔔 Talk with your team leader to set up smaller goals for yourself.
Motivating yourself at work isn’t just about making it to work.
Rather, it’s about inspiring yourself to achieve specific goals in the service of an important, big-picture imperative. It’s about pushing yourself to become better at something that interests you, and it’s about growing as an individual.
