| 0:00.0 | In this episode, we look at the secrets of motivation. |
| 0:05.0 | Get excited because this is tiny leaps. Big changes. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, big changes where I share simple research-based strategies you can use to get more out of your life. |
| 0:38.0 | My name is Greg Klunis, and today I want to start a new series I'm going to do on this podcast all about motivation. |
| 0:47.8 | And I'm doing this because I think, at least this has been my't control. It feels like something that we can't control. |
| 1:00.0 | It feels like this like nebulous if we have it everything's great if we don't we're screwed and we don't have |
| 1:07.8 | that much we can do about it kind of a part of the process but as you know it's incredibly important if we're not motivated to take |
| 1:16.8 | action then we're not going to take action and so because of this sense of it's something we can't control we just kind of have to have it or not |
| 1:26.8 | We end up in situations where we find ourselves waiting sitting around hoping that motivation will strike us and not really taking action until that happens. |
| 1:39.0 | So I want to disprove that because the truth is that's really not how motivation works. |
| 1:45.2 | Yes, it's a little bit harder to control compared to things like ability or prompts if we go back to the |
| 1:51.2 | fog behavior model. behavior equals motivation, ability, and prompt. |
| 1:56.1 | Motivation is the hardest part to shift in that because it is very based on the individual, |
| 2:02.2 | it's based on a number of factors but there has been |
| 2:04.8 | enormous amounts of research into the science of motivation what allows people |
| 2:10.8 | to be motivated and hold on to that motivation versus not. |
| 2:15.2 | And so what I want to do in this series is explore that. |
| 2:19.3 | Better understand how motivation works. |
| 2:21.5 | And to do that, I'm going to dive into the text. |
| 2:25.0 | I'm going to read the leading scholars in motivation science. |
| 2:29.0 | I'm going to learn far more about how behavior science works when it comes to motivation and I'm going to share all of that with you. |
| 2:39.0 | So this is the first installment in this new series. Let me know what you think about it. If you are |
| 2:44.7 | watching on YouTube right now, leave a comment down below. Let me know if you're excited for this |
