The Playbook – Everyday skills for every professional

Exactly What to Do - How to get motivated*

Jenn Glynn and Jason Thomson Season 9 Episode 130

Motivation is a scam (how's that for a clickbait headline?). 


If you've ever seen something that makes you feel like you can take on the world, only to watch it fizzle out an hour later...this is the show for you.


Things are tough out there right now, and it can be nearly impossible to keep your head up and move forward with confidence. Here's my Playbook for doing exactly that.


Segment 01 - Make the commitment.

What is motivation?  How to create a purpose. How to establish an environment for yourself.


Segment 02 - Build discipline and habit.

"Don't rely on 'motivation' for anything. It's fleeting and unreliable. Discipline, however, is unyielding.'" How to establish Process/System/Habit. Why you should read Atomic Habits.


Segment 03 - Get moving.

The importance of visibility. How to make micro actions. The value of ritual. How to get soft accountability working for you.


Segment 04 - Bonus secrets.

Rest. Setbacks. And what the heck is D.O.S.E.?
