Drîm Motivation

We know that motivation is crucial to performance, but struggle to become - and stay - motivated and struggle to motivate others and keep them motivated.

Drîm Motivation

The key to becoming and remaining motivated - and regaining it if we lose it - is to become good at deliberately creating the crucible conditions for motivation:

1. {tip title="Daily Motivation Maintenance" content="

   Because motivation is so vulnerable to mood, events and our physical and mental state, it's essential to deliberately and proactively check and maintain motivation on a regular basis - daily by default and more or less frequency if required.

   The objective is to assess your motivation levels and take appropriate restorative action as early as possible.

   Proactively Assess your current levels of motivation and Review a purpose-built collection of motivating thoughts, including inspirational quotes, words and notes of encouragement and recognition and clear statements about your mission in life to reinforce the gounded and realistic perspective needed to remain motivated.

5. No Dementors!
7. Connect to Meaning.
8. Size the task to your appetite, aptitude and energy.
9. Deliberately build confidence.
10. Build momentum over time.

The secret to sustainable motivation is to determine and connect with what is most meaningful - to ourselves and others - within the context.  And then keep reminding ourselves of the connection.

How to Enrich and Achieve Meaning

Meaning is a what motivates us - our motivations and beliefs and how they inhibit and drive individual and collective performance and fulfilment.

How to Enrich and Achieve Meaning

Meaning and purpose - immediate and ultimate  - drives all human activity and provides huge untapped opportunity for dramatic improvement.

The challenge with keying into meaning is that it is elusive and not as well-defined, logically grounded, accessible or easy to articulate as we may like to think.

The secret is to recognise that it's fundamentally about our perceived significance within the world we choose to live in - and our value system (what we think is important) and the mental model we have of how things work.

How to Key Into Meaning

Connecting the dots between meaning and the desired behaviours, produces motivation: the rocket fuel for dramatic improvement.

How to Key Into Meaning

Once we've determined what our worldview is and are actively improving its alignment with reality, we can key activities - both ours and others - to it.

It will seem as if the activities - especially the more mundane ones - are totally unrelated, at first.  But it only takes a little effort and practise before things start connecting up in all of our brains.

At that point, things start becoming more fulfilling and effortless and a virtual cycle is quickly established.  The cycle can be maintained if we remain vigilant - re-establishing the connection every time it gets lost. 

Meaning:Worldview Alignment

Our worldview is the set of beliefs we hold about what is meaningful.  Our ability to secure dramatic and sustainable improvement is dependent on the accuracy of our worldview so it's crucial that we work out what our worldview is : how closely our beliefs about reality coincide with that reality - and what we do to improve that alignment. 

Meaning:Worldview Alignment

Meaning is elusive, because it's intangible and varies - between people, over time and situationally.  There're many dimensions to meaning, so it's often quite difficult to articulate accurately and effectively.

The matter is further clouded by the worldview problem.  Worldview is our perception of meaning - our beliefs about what will satisfy and fulfil us - distorted by Cognitive Biases and Logical Fallacies.

The trick is to deliberately test our worldview:
Past: Does it adequately explain past reality?
Future: Does it adequately predict future reality?
