📚 3 Good Articles for You
The Self-Motivation Toolkit: How to Stay Curious and Committed
by Anne-Laure Le Cunff (5 mins)
Self-motivation can be developed by understanding intrinsic motivation, which includes self-efficacy, curiosity, and competence.
Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal rewards, such as believing in your ability to change, finding interest in new challenges, and seeking growth in tasks.
Maintain self-motivation using the "3 Ms": manage your mood, measure your progress, and make your efforts public.

The Strong-Link Theory: How to Build a Successful Career
by Niklas Göke (6 mins)
Career Optimization: Success hinges on standout achievements (strong-link game) rather than team performance. Leverage opportunities in commission-based work, startups, or by creating unique content online.
Historical Parallels: Carl Spitzweg’s "The Poor Poet" illustrates past limitations. Today, technology and the internet enable global networking and talent showcasing, unlike in the restrictive past.
Actionable Advice: Create and share work online, use the internet's connectivity, and consistently put in effort. Proactive engagement and hard work are essential for career advancement.

Be Efficient with Processes and Effective with People
by Bobby Powers (5 mins)
Efficiency is important for processes but can harm relationships when applied to people. Prioritize effectiveness in human interactions.
Recognize moments that require slowness, allow meetings to run over, and understand that thoughtful approaches yield better long-term outcomes.
Treat people with care, empathy, and respect, focusing on their needs and emotions rather than just productivity.
