It is really important to understand how you work when you try to manage yourself, set goals, improve things etc.

Some people are need to pretend like everything is fun, I just focus more on why I am doing it.

I keep track of all the data and have lists from milestones and all of that to drive most of what I do. Hide most of it, and just have what I am working on now in front of me. And typically don’t care too much of what I have done and just have moved on to new goals as I’m reaching the old ones.

Other people want to celebrate things more.

It is kind of like the different kind of people at the gym. I just go alone and do it every day because I want to be stronger, fitter etc. Others have a friend they go with, use personal trainers or go to a class etc. It all depends on your drive.

To understand how to manipulate (or “motivate” if you do a corporate training thingy) yourself is essential to move forward
