E-grāmata: Energy + Motivation (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series)

"Some work projects excite us-we jump right in and become so engaged and consumed with what we're doing that we run the risk of burning out. Other times, we find ourselves in a slump-everything on our to-do list is something we don't actually want to do.But we don't have to live in either extreme. We can regulate our energy and find ways to get started-and keep going-even on tasks we don't enjoy. We can set boundaries with ourselves and others to make progress and feel accomplished without feeling completely drained. Energy and Motivation explores how to manage your energy productively and boost your motivation even when your stamina falters. With the latest psychological research and practical advice from leading experts, you'll learn how to make choices about how you're using your energy and what and whom you're giving it to, build in breaks and opportunities to recharge, build a force field to protect yourself from those who drain your energy and demotivate you, and psych yourself up even when you'rehaving an off day"--

Push through when procrastination calls.

Some days you're on fire at work; other days you're burned out and easily distracted. How can you maintain your drive, make consistent progress, and expend your energy wisely?

This book will help you identify what's behind your flagging engagement and productivity—and provide the expert research and advice on what to do about it.
