⚡ Motivation vs Discipline ⚡

Motivation to start, discipline to achieve!

sometimes they support each other. but if there's no motivation - try to discipline myself :)

I think once you figure out motivation, discipline follows. That statement is inspired by Physiqonomics' text about motivation: ----------- Motivation is like a unicorn – fickle and terribly timid. The more you chase it or try to hunt it down, the further it runs from you. And the only way to court it is to show up and not pay it any attention. Yes, I'm asking you to play hard to get with motivation. Because while motivation is timid, it's also extremely proud. And by refusing to pay it any attention, it'll want to come to you. This is why, even on the days I don't want to write, or I'm struggling to write: I show up, sit my ass down, and get started. Even if that means a three hour-long staring contest with a blank screen. So be it. Eventually, as hard as it is, you find yourself getting in the zone and wanting to continue – that's because motivation has shown up. But you have to start, first. Because here's the thing: People think they have to wait for motivation to show up. But really, motivation is waiting for you to show up. ----------- I love the closing statement and it changed a lot how I approach certain things. :)

It's a tricky one :) Motivation 🙂

both. equally.

Discipline, no matter what. Motivation is just like a first step, but discipline will take you further when is next to impossible to take another step.

Motivation to be disciplined!

I think passion for the work you are doing is the most important. If you have passion, then motivation easily follows. Discipline is critical to make sure that you do the work that is important and not just urgent.

Firstly, I think motivation is necessary. If you are well motivated then discipline comes along. Although for certain recurring tasks it is hard to find the motivation once it becomes redundant.

Discipline with a morning formula :)
