I stopped waiting to feel motivated and things got easier.
What finally gets you moving?
For years I treated motivation like the weather. I’d wake up, check how I felt, and decide if today was a “go” day. Most days weren’t. I run a few small companies now, and I almost never feel like doing the hard stuff. What changed was tiny. I made a rule that I only have to start for ten minutes, and if I still hate it after that, I’m allowed to quit. I almost never quit. Turns out the feeling shows up after I start, not before.
I think a lot of us are stuck waiting for a spark that only comes from moving. Sounds obvious. It took me way too long to see it anyway. So I’m curious. What’s the one small rule or trick that gets you off the couch on days when you feel nothing at all? And did it stick, or do you keep having to find a new one?
