Avoid relying solely on motivation from "summary" of Superhuman by Habit by Tynan
Relying solely on motivation is a risky game. Motivation is fickle. It can come and go like a fleeting breeze, leaving you high and dry when you need it most. If you rely solely on motivation to get things done, you're setting yourself up for failure. Instead of waiting for motivation to strike, develop habits that will carry you through even when motivation is nowhere to be found. Habits are like a sturdy ship that will weather any storm. They provide the structure and consistency that motivation lacks. When you have solid habits in place, you don't need to rely on motivation to keep you going. Building habits takes time and effort, but the payoff is well worth it. Start small, with one habit at a time. Focus on consistency rather than intensity. It's better to do a little bit every day than to burn yourself out trying to do too much all at once. As you build your habits, remember that setbacks are inevitable. Don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or slip up. Instead, acknowledge the setback, learn from it, and get back on track. Habits are not about perfection; they're about progress. By developing solid habits, you'll create a foundation of discipline that will carry you through even when motivation is nowhere to be found. Motivation may come and go, but habits are here to stay. So, don't put all your eggs in the motivation basket. Invest in habits that will sustain you for the long haul.
