Step 4: How can you use your new skills right now?

You can top up your levels of motivation by applying your new skills right away, as you learn them.

Let’s say you’re taking a course in how to use the spread sheet programme Excel. You know some of the basics, but your boss keeps asking you to do Excel tasks that are way beyond your skill level. So you enrol in an online course.

This seemed a good idea at the time, but the reality’s less than stimulating. You’re wondering how you’re ever going to find the willpower to make it to the end of the course.

You can increase your self-motivation by practicing your new skills as they develop. As you pick up new knowledge, apply it at work. Perform some more complicated calculations with a spread sheet, or produce a polished and professional graph of some important figures. Notice that you’re starting to feel more confident, and less overwhelmed.

Remind yourself that the course has value to you right now – and this is only going to increase, the more you learn.

If the learning’s clearly worthwhile and is already helping you, it’ll be easier to motivate yourself to stay the distance.
