How To Motivate Yourself During A Job Search - Kurt Nelson
Kurt Nelson and I talked about motivating yourself during a job search and the problem of the middle on Episode 61 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. He told me "A job search can feel overwhelming, the big goal at the end is this job and that journey to get to that goal can be really long. What we know about motivation is that big goal can be really inspirational at the beginning and really inspirational when we get close to the end of it but it wanes in its motivational ability in the middle and it's called “the problem of the middle” … part of what you can do from a motivational perspective is to figure out how can I break that big journey down into milestone steps and what are the things I need to do."
