TODAY’S QUESTION

Jennifer asks, “I go through waves of motivation. Have you seen anything that could help me be more consistent?”

Recommendation: Burn out is very common among the candidates I work with. It’s challenging to keep things going but if you work around a strategy that’s best for you, you won’t be as stressed. Here’s what I’ve seen work:

Start by thinking back on your work experience and ask yourself what works best for you. Is consistent work the best fit or do you work better in sprints of hard work followed by rest.
- A good way to find this is to ask, “if I owned a business, how would I have my team work?”
Once you know what works best for you, plan out a system that, if you achieved 70% of your tasks (because none of us ever complete everything, every day), then that would be enough to feel productive and unlikely to burn out.
Finally, I recommend finding tools that you would recommend to someone you cared about who had the same work style as you. Then actually use them:
- For those that would like community, here is a reddit of people complaining that can help you feel connected: click here.
- If you work best alone, here is a playlist to help you stay focused and concentrated: click here.

Conclusion:

If you can figure out your working style and then use online tools and communities
