Inside Job

237: The Inspiration Paradox


Listen Later

Inspiration can be found anywhere and, if you're Eric, that can even include a skeleton in your front yard.

A lot of us believe we're supposed to feel thrilled, excited, energized, and inspired by our work. While it would be great if that were true all the time, we tend to panic in the moments when it feels like our inspiration in our work is drying up.

So, in this episode that was recorded shortly before Halloween, we're exploring what we refer to as the inspiration paradox by discussing what it looks like to lose inspiration in the workplace, whether or not we need to feel inspired in order to be productive, what we can do about a lack of inspiration, and more.
