Jumpstart your motivation
& stay motivated

Shawn Doyle · the whole book, by hand

Act first. The feeling follows.

Don't wait to feel ready. Start, and the energy shows up.

A boss or a speech gives a spark. It fades in a day or two. Lasting drive is built by you.

→ say "I choose to", not "I have to"

Make the first step so small you can't say no. Movement makes momentum.

→ 5-minute timer, just begin

"I'm no good at this" drains you. "I'm learning this" keeps you going.

→ catch one line, rewrite it

Write it down. Give it a date. Cut it into steps for this week. Know your why.

→ 1 goal, 1 date, 3 steps

Some people lift you, some drain you. Same with feeds, news and a messy desk.

→ mute 1 drainer, call 1 lifter

Motivation drains like a phone battery. Routine, small wins and rest charge it.

→ write 3 wins every night

Nobody can motivate you for long.
Only you can.Stop waiting for the right mood, the right boss or Monday.

I have to → I choose to

I can't → I haven't yet

I failed → I learned

wait to feel it → start, then feel it
