Turning effort into motivation
- Here's a mindset shift that could completely change how you approach hard work. There's a powerful concept called Learned Industriousness, coined by Robert Eisenberger. His research shows that when we reward ourselves for the effort we put in, we start to actually enjoy the process. It becomes less about pushing ourselves to get to some end goal and more about being drawn to the work like a magnet. By putting in the effort, then acknowledging the effort you're applying, you create a positive feedback loop that keeps you motivated. So instead of waiting for the end result to feel accomplished, give yourself credit for every step you take. Make it about the process and the results will follow.
