Rome wasn’t built in a day. They kept adding bricks every day. That’s progress!

 

As humans, we have an innate desire to complete tasks and check them off our to-do lists. This gives us a sense of achievement and the motivation to move on to the next task. However, this obsession with finishing things can lead to what's known as Completion Bias: This means our brain often prioritizes the quick satisfaction of completing small tasks over working on larger or more complex ones.

 

Not everything we do can be quantified easily or completed quickly. Many significant projects take time and effort and can't be accomplished in a single day. 

 

The most important thing for boosting motivation at work is making progress on meaningful tasks. Just like we enjoy completing small tasks on our to-do lists, making even a small step toward a big goal can be highly motivating. However, we often overlook these ‘small wins’ because they are difficult to measure.

 

It’s easy to get overwhelmed and feel defeated when all you see is a huge goal looming. Our minds naturally seek structure and validation, and the simplest way to find it is by focusing on and acknowledging what's right in front of us. When it comes to meaningful work, we must combat this feeling of overwhelmedness that large projects can create.

 

To stay dedicated to the most important work, we must find ways to measure, monitor, and feel a sense of accomplishment in our daily progress, even if the task is not fully completed.
