  • 022 SIDE NOTE Sunday: How to Get Stuff Done Even When You Lack Motivation aka Don't Feel Like It
    The ability to accomplish goals with or without motivation is an art that anyone can master. The thing is: we've inflated the importance of motivation.

    1. How can you get more motivated to do something even when you're exhausted AF?
    2. How do you get something done when the motivation just won't come...no matter what?
     
    The answer? A 7-letter word.
