Starting again when motivation is missing

You don’t always need another promise. Sometimes you need to understand which first step you are actually willing to take.

The distance between intention and action

It’s a familiar moment: you decide to change something, but the day ends before you begin. The project remains there, along with the feeling that you first need to find the right motivation. That gap raises a question running through the Booknowledge catalogue: how do we get started again?

A precise question can be the starting point for reading. What do I keep putting off? Which part of the task weighs on me? What result am I demanding before I have even tried? Writing down your answers makes the subject less abstract.

A page to bring into your day

A book about motivation can be a space to pause and reflect on your habits. You don’t need to turn every sentence into a rule: choose an idea, try it in your own experience and decide whether it helps.

Upcoming Booknowledge releases make room for these questions. On each book’s page you can leave your email to be notified when it becomes available.
