Yeah that's a really good way of putting it. Sometimes setting goals isn't about being more productive, it's about avoiding procrastination and unproductiveness (which I guess is the same as being more productive anyway)!
"Set clear and actionable goals" Yeah, I'm toast if I don't do this. I might have a productive day without it, but I rarely have an unproductive day when what I need to do is clear.

Hi Paul. Great post. This is one of your best podcasts yet. I think a) because it spoke to something I struggle with, and b) because your episodes are getting better and better. On your point about scheduling work in a calendar, I'd add that you will also benefit from the notification that pops up on your phone, tablet or monitor, that prompts you to get started. Anyway.mgreat post. Thanks.
Hi Paul, I really enjoy your posts and find them very valuable. I have a small observation about this one. I think the formula should say Motivation = expectancy x value/(1 + impulsiveness x delay) Another aspect is that, this formula is very qualitative, because it is not possible to give numbers to the parameters involved, I don't understand why 1+ ... Do you undertsand it? if yes, Could you please explain it to me?
Hi Umberto, thanks for the feedback. Great observation. I'm not that sure about the "1". The formula was developed by Piers Steel and Cornelius Konig who have a couple of books and papers on the topic. So I am assuming they have identified a quantitative way of measuring these variables in order to generate a numerical result.

I am John, how are you everybody? This article posted at this website is in fact good.
