Productivity guru Merlin Mann grabs a keen idea from an NPR story about weight loss techniques and applies it to the other things he (and most of us) need to mentally push ourselves into doing. The basic concept: Take something you'd normally consider a positive "earning" or "savings," and flip it into a loss you want to avoid. His example:I wonder if a gym membership might be even more motivating if you received a daily email updating you on the wasted dollars you'd spent by not working out in the last n days.Which is completely possible with future-mailing services or organizational tools like read more »

Weblog Unclutterer recognizes the difficulties in changing long-standing habits, suggesting that the best ways to inspire personal change may be to employ techniques commonly associated with brainwashing. For example: People are more susceptible to programming when they're exhausted. If you're going to listen to motivational tapes or talk yourself into being self-disciplined enough to do work, you should do it right before bed after a long day of physical and mental activity.Most of the observations in the post come from a book called How to Work the Competition into the Ground and Have Fun Doing It, and while the idea of using brainwashing techniques on yourself may sound a bit extreme, if it's all about making changes you want, the idea makes sense. If you've ever tried similar techniques, let's hear how they've worked for you in the comments.

Research shows that classic career advice—"find a way to get paid to do what you love"—may be way off the mark. The Washington Post's Shankar Vedantam reports that paychecks and pink slips aren't good long-term motivators: Beliefs about the utility of rewards and punishments in motivating human behavior are deeply ingrained, and most people don't know that more than 100 research studies have shown that motivating people in this manner can have the unintentional effect of undermining their internal drives. Once you replace someone's internal motivation to do something with an external reward or punishment, their inner drive reduces, these studies show. I've turned a hobby into a job and vice versa, and my internal truth-o-meter hit a high note reading this. No matter how much you love an activity—whether it's writing, painting, programming, being an activist, home decorator, whatever—assigning a deadline and a paycheck to it fundamentally changes the nature of t read more »
