2019-09-11Motivation System Improvement Proposal
2019-09-11
- motivating system
- There was a vague sense that focusing on "willingness (e.g., to do something)" might be a mistake.
- A little more verbalization today.
- People who are in a situation where they have fixed "things to do" and are not "motivated" to do them.
- "How do I get motivated?" implicitly affirms the fixation on "doing."
- But I'm not sure that fixation on "doing" is correct.
- Unless it's something that would kill you if you didn't do it, the thought that you "should" do it is wrong in itself.
- 'I have to do it because it's my job' - implicitly ignores the option of quitting the job.
- Is it really a "must do"?
- Wouldn't it be appropriate to ignore the observed fact that "I don't feel like doing it?"
- Keep doing what you truly find [interesting
- If it's not fun, if it's not motivating, then don't do it.
- Need a system to collect what motivates you and what does not motivate you in order to encourage verbalization of what you find interesting
