What is motivation? Why it's useless and what you actually need.

Motivation has turned into an entire industry. Feeling lazy? Read a quote. Don't know what to do? Watch a YouTube video. Still nothing? Buy a course from someone who was "in your shoes". Somewhere out there, apparently, is a version of you that wakes up at 4am, goes on a 10km run, reads 100 books a year, builds a business and, most importantly, never ever procrastinates. That version is out there no doubt, but in a world where unicorns are pets and rent is affordable. The truth is, motivation is unreliable and temporary. What you really need...is a system.
