How to Stay focused When you Get bored Working on Your goals?

What do the really successful people do that most don’t? 🌻At some point it comes down to Who can handle the boredom of training every day, doing the same work over, and over, and over again!!! Whether it’s business or sports or art “it all comes down to passion” Or “You have to really want it”. Successful people feel the same lack of motivation as everyone else ; The difference is that they still find a way to show up despite the feelings of boredom. Mastery requires practice. But the more you practice something, the more boring and routine it becomes. The greatest threat to success is not failure but boredom! As soon as we experience dip in motivation, we begin seeking a new strategy-even if the old one is still working. As Machiavelli noted, “Men desire novelty to such an extent that those who are doing well wish for a change as much as those who are doing badly.” Perhaps that is why many of the most habit forming products are those that provide continuous forms of novelty. In Psychology, this is known as a variable reward. Variable rewards don’t create a craving, but they are a powerful way to amplify the cravings we already experience because they reduce boredom. Variable rewards or not, no habit will stay interesting forever. You have to fall in love with boredom. With any habit, there will be days when you feel like quitting. But stepping up when it’s annoying or painful or draining to do so, that’s what makes the difference between a professional and an amateur ִֶָ☾. - Atomic Habits By James clear
