How to Figure Out What Motivates You at Work

Our future may be more exciting than our current situation. You can leverage that to your advantage by using it as motivation to work harder.

Use each job you hold as a stepping stone towards your goal. Your current position serves a purpose, whether it is to build your resume, teach you skills, or help you save money to look for a new job.

To keep you highly motivated, set a deadline, and break your goals down into smaller, achievable tasks.

Remind yourself regularly why you should be motivated.

• Many people make their jobs seem worse than they actually are. Avoid this by reminding yourself that every day is a new day. You can change your schedule to add exciting things.
• If you are satisfied with the work you do and the value you provide, you can still make notes to remind you of the services you offer and how they help others.
