It's pretty remarkable. Every few months I get stuck when I'm working on my projects. I'm moving along and then BAM - I lose my motivation. Sometimes the work gets complicated or convoluted. Sometimes it requires too much creative energy. All I know is, it happens regularly. And it's annoying as hell. I love learning about psychology, so I started researching what others do and found some unintuitive ways to approach motivation. For instance, one method called for DOING first, and letting motivation follow. Huh. I was obviously skeptical, but then I tried it. Episode Show Notes: 00:20 - Procrastination instead of working 01:22 - "Do the Actual Thing" 01:56 - Practice actually counts as doing something 02:22 - The iterations of the Like button on Facebook 03:27 - The iteration of Instagram portrayals 04:50 - "Act yourself into a feeling" 05:40 - My struggles with my projects 07:00 - Et tu?
