I used to wake up every morning thinking, "It's going to be the same old day..." but now I wake up thinking, "What fun things are going to happen today?" The secret to this dramatic transformation is creative motivation.

Six months ago, I was in a typical "burnout" state, mechanically going through the motions at work, watching Netflix after work, and falling asleep. Then one day, a junior colleague said to me, "Why are you having such a boring life?" and it stuck with me.

With that question stuck in my head, I realized that I had been afraid to try new things and had settled into a safe routine, so I tried a completely different approach.

Prompt.

Based on [your current situation], give me a 30-day actionable creative motivation plan, step-by-step.

The first challenge I did this way was to "do one of my tasks in a completely new way." I took the same report I'd been writing every week and turned it into an infographic, and my coworkers' reactions were overwhelming - I realized, "I can do this!" and my confidence soared.

Since then, I've continued to do small experiments in all areas of my life: taking a different route to work, trying new lunch options, reading books in genres I don't normally read... These seemingly small changes added up to a dynamic change in my life.

The most amazing thing is that creativity and motivation are mutually reinforcing: trying new things is fun, so I want to try more, and the more I try, the more creative ideas come to me. Why not start with one small change you can make right now?
