Today's Reading List 📚

(1) The Ultimate Guide to Unstoppable Motivation by Nir Eyal (10 mins)

• Motivation exists on a spectrum from external to intrinsic. Studies show intrinsic is best, but the middle "identified motivation" also boosts performance if intrinsic declines.

• Hikers who aligned actions with personal values ("identified motivation") were most likely to complete the trail and feel happy, even as intrinsic motivation declined.

• We can boost identified motivation by clarifying our core values in life, then aligning our actions with those values, infusing tasks with meaning.

(2) The Paradox of Goals by Anne-Laure Le Cunff (13 mins)

• The paradox: Goals are necessary yet pursuing them guarantees disappointment whether we succeed or fail.

• Instead of rigid goals, design flexible growth loops based on cycles of experimentation and learning.

• Focus on enjoying the journey of self-cultivation rather than reaching a specific destination.

(3) Decide Your Next Decade by Scott H. Young (2 mins)

• Envision your ideal life in 10 years. This long-term vision can motivate you to focus on what matters.

• Write down the gap between your 10-year goals and your current daily actions. This reveals where you need to improve your focus.

• Share your 10-year vision and focus gaps with others. This provides accountability to make progress on your ambitions.
