The science of getting motivated | Ayelet Fishbach | TEDxChicago

[@fabanvi]

1. Motivation is not something you own like money. It’s about being wise. 2. Change the situation into something you like. 3. Do you want to be the person who has done it or the one who was doing it? 4. Make shorter goals- as motivation falters in the middle of the time alotted 5. Be a failure expert, have a small yet strong ego that doesn’t let failing stop you from improving 6. Seek discomfort sometimes, then you’ll discover that one can actually grow into it 7. Being awkward and uncomfortable makes you more resilient and daring than knowing that you’re learning something new 8. Anticipate getting distracted multiple times. Now you have more control over your reaction before the saod distraction. 9. Having a supportive family/ colleagues REALLY help. Make sure you support them too.

[@pei-jungwang2294]

Good summary

[@Always.Smarter]

so basically, set smaller goals be willing to fail don't overwork yourself but also don't wait for someone else to do it for you multitask intelligently (work smart, not hard)

Really really great! I have learned after working in the same field for over 30 years... I can be motivated with a few things. Some things will have to be done as good as possible but maybe not 100%.... I like being human.

[@tamirhayat]

I like being human. loved this phrase. 👑 well may god bless humanity :-)

[@davidrbrtsn]

This was so interesting! I think my entire home country (South Africa 🇿🇦) sadly got 'stuck in the middle' and now we've got to break the stagnation.

[@paweswiatek7430]

I'm affraid social media plays big role in demotivating people. If we look at date of social media raise in popularity vs problems with motivation as well as chronic diseases among young people, you can clearly find the pattern. Social media are like tobacco in 80s and 90s - we need to limit it and regulate it.

How to motivate america: 1. place a cap on CEO salaries. 2. pay workers a giving wage. 3. 4-day work weeks

[@lewismuster5686]

4 day work weeks ... 😂😂😂 Américan people are very lazy

[@Always.Smarter]

nothing is stopping you from starting a company that abides those rules. if you wait for society to solve your problems for you, then you may wait the rest of your life away.

[@woodspriteful]

Only some people get paid to play. Most of us are exploited. It doesn't mean exploited and disadvantaged people can't build up their motivation or make their own autonomous income, but the responses to this legitimate comment about our need for checks and balances on our exploitative systems needs to be accepted as reality. There's a lot of abuse out there. People are worn down. Your success stories don't do anything about inequity and abuse.

[@BaldAndCurious]

@@woodspriteful agree. Change needs to be systemic. We'll never know how many people will provide the spark, but we hope it happens soon.

[@edgarmorales4476]

Although people are sophisticated, big-headed in their "knowledge and learning," versed in contemporary manners, and in new ways of relating one to another, basically, people all those years ago were the same as ourselves. ​ They were controlled and motivated entirely by their TWIN IMPULSES of human nature: Bonding-Rejection Desires-Repulsions even as we are. They loved, hated, criticized, condemned, slandered, gossiped, possessed ambitions to rise to the top of society, despised those who were failures in life, slept around and taunted those who were different in any way to themselves.

[@meegrace599]

Thank you...

you are very right sir,I wasn't financial free until my 30’s and I’m still in my 30’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.

[@SalmanAnsariTSA]

Wonderful motivation.

It PAYS to PLAY (Playful activities, games, toys, sports, etc can help to sustain interest) (STRONG Museum of Play is in Rochester, NY, where I live. It pays to play, at any age!)

Será que o canal não pode por legenda em português? Inscrita e muito interessada nos assuntos do canal, mas é a segunda vez que peço. Nem todo mundo sabe o inglês e nem tem obrigação de saber. É uma pena que um canal tão engajado na dinâmica humana, não tenha interesse em nos brasileiros.

[@jessicabzrs]

mas tem legenda em pt. Você procura a engrenagem (a minha fica na parte superior a direita), na parte de legendas seleciona “traduzir automaticamente” e escolhe a língua. Espero que funcione!

[@woodspriteful]

The thesis doesnt match the examples, such as familial support to inspire motivation. There was no cohesion in this talk.

[@IPoopOnYouEveryLastOneOfYou]

It wasn't a great talk, that woman needed serious help trying to communicate what was supposed to be the message of it all suggestions on how to be motivated, so much lousy stuff she chucked in there for 18 minutes. All she delivered was coercion, contusion, and concussion.

[@hestiathena4917]

I suppose there's some good advice here... if you're not also dealing with some combination of burnout, depression, trauma, existential despair, or a "high-functioning" neurological disorder...😑
