Yes! I was the same way when I was listening to the podcast, the question really got me fired up. It's seems so obvious and so fundamental, but it really is an amazingly simple way of "feeding" the inner motivation that we all have inside of us. Most people tend to the fire of laziness by choosing the easy way out and continuously thinking of the reasons why they don't want to do something rather than stoking the fire that tells us why we actually want to do something and want to reap the benefits from doing so!
I hope you do and please let me know how it goes for you, if you want to share your responses here, I would also love to see your thinking process as you answer the questions!
I was recently reading an article about how important it is to "design the default" and combined with this article, I feel like I have seriously upgraded my motivation game. If I practice being mindful of the reasons I do want to do something, it will become easier to work in that manner. Our brains are fantastic in that they are able to send us on crazy adventures when we aren't actively engaging it, but we can really unlock a ton of potential by mindful willpower. Neural connections for a specific skill can get stronger and more diverse when we work at it often, so we can build quite a motivation machine with the right mental exercises. Thank you so much for sharing this tool, @khaleelkazi!
And @sistem, you and I had the exact same reaction, that question caught me off guard and that's how I know how much I needed to read this today.
