“Of all the things that can boost emotions, motivation, and perceptions during a workday, the single most important is making progress in meaningful work.”
Wait, so it’s not your 3pm M&M habit? Or plowing through a bunch of emails? Or doing tedious paperwork? Or surveying Twitter for story ideas? It’s meaningful work?!?!
Well. That actually makes a lot of sense.
So if you need an emotional or motivational boost today, ask yourself…where can I find meaning?
