Deep dives

Motivation Gaps

Motivation gaps occur when individuals lack the sufficient motivation to achieve their desired results. This can stem from a lack of commitment to the goal, a lack of clarity on how to achieve it, or a lack of familiarity with the desired outcome. Additionally, motivation gaps can result from a lack of bandwidth, where competing priorities and distractions hinder progress. Another significant motivation gap is the need to unlearn old habits or behaviors in order to adopt new ones. Unlearning can be challenging and uncomfortable, but it is often necessary for positive change. By understanding and addressing these motivation gaps, individuals can better navigate the path towards their goals.
