Picture: Stories create powerful imagery in our minds that represent ideas.

Breathe new life into your work by developing pictures that clearly signal your next steps. 

Find examples: Other projects you’ve worked on can illustrate the output you’re after. 

Seek input: Colleagues who’ve tackled similar projects can help you create a list of action items based on their insights.

Get creative: Look outside of your company or industry to get inspired by how others have met similar goals. 

You might not always feel like working, but as you dig into the story behind the work, mixed with some rest and recreation now and then, fresh motivation awaits.
