Finding Motivation
We have to “solve problems/figure things out” many times each day. Ones like balancing schedules of 3 kids in 3 different schools with geting errands done, and getting home in time to make dinner (or to take it out of the box before it gets cold). Or how to get out the door to not be late to whatever. Or planning for college/finding a job/finding a new job The key to finding/having motivation is to reduce the effort it takes to problem-solve. And that is the topic of tod ay’s show. See? You’re in the right place! Join Jeff and I as we dive into the details of finding motivation. Listen, and learn PS. It’s ok to listen to ita few times, there’s a lot of new info here! 🙂
