The first step

We all read a bunch of articles and books about motivation and productivity. Although if you have not read that, but missed a lot. All of them include basically similar ideas. This does not mean that books are bad and useless. Just the opposite. Many of these books really motivate. But not all. The problem lies in the ourselves . If you do not want anything, if you have no desire or intention to do anything, then motivating books will hardly help. The very first thing you need to work out for yourself is desire. I'm not talking about desire from the category "I just want a lot of money," but from the category "I want to improve myself and achieve more." This is the very first step. The desire to do something, the desire to change.
It is necessary to remember this step always. When you are already halfway or just started to move towards the goal. Even when you almost reached it. This is why you started this, and this will help you stay on track.
