TEAMS365 #2263 – Keeping Motivated in the Remote Space

Whether we are working out of choice or requirement in the remote space, keeping motivated is a critical factor. It may feel like we are isolated and on our own. It’s also up to us to keep going. With this in mind, keeping motivated is critical for medium- and longer-term success.

First, consider your drivers, or what gets you motivated. For some it’s all about results, for others it’s about creating relationships. For some it may be achievement, while others it’s legacy.

Our motivation and focus may also vary across the day.

Consider these questions:

• What is important to you – in the short term? In the big picture?
• What do you get motivated by - Deep dives around topics? Getting things checked off your list?
• When are you at your peak?
• What tasks need to get done right away so they are off the list?
• What elements might need a focus later on?

What to do if motivation is flagging:

• Consider reaching out to your network. What do they do to keep on task? What tips do they have?
• Consider making a change to routine or location of work.
• Reach out to your mentor and have a discussion around motivation.
• Take a break to renew. High performance is often as much about creating a renewal break, as it is keeping on high performance.

What’s going to fill up your well again?

Best, 
Jennifer
