2020 was an especially challenging year. And this year continues to require some extra effort to start and finish things that matter.  Even if you've built a business for yourself (like I did), you can still have creative exhaustion and feel trapped by your work. Maintaining discipline is more critical than having motivation. Preserve your energy and leave some fuel in the tank. Steady, daily progress through discipline allows you to cultivate long-term motivation. When you have autonomy, discretion, rewards that you value, social support, fair policies, and meaningful work, you feel more engaged and less burnt out. In episode 30 of The Incrementalist podcast, you will learn:1. Small, key things to do when you're in a motivation rut and feeling depleted2. Why maintaining discipline is more important than having motivation3. The three key dimensions of the burnout-engagement continuum, as defined by Dr. Christina Maslach and Dr. Michael Lieter:  exhaustion-energy  cynicism-involvement  inefficacy-efficacy 4. The six workplace factors that trigger burnout: workplace overload lack of control over your work insufficient reward lack of community absence of fairness conflicting values 5.  External factors and rewards don't always match with internal drivers and intrinsic motivation6. How a unique framework -- the Motivation Code (MCODE) -- helps you to understand what motivates you and why7. The Motivation Code includes 27 motivational themes that are grouped into six motivational families: Visionary Achieve Potential Make an Impact Experience the Ideal Achiever Meet the Challenge Overcome Bring to Completion Advance Team Player Collaborate Make the Grade Serve Influence Behavior Learner Comprehend and Express Master Demonstrate New Learning Explore Optimizer Organize Make it Right Improve Make it Work Develop Establish Key Contributor Evoke Recognition Bring Control Be Unique Be Central Gain Ownership Excel 8. What motivates you does not always include work that you love, but involves work that allows you to accomplish what really matters to you. 9. Use clean fuel to motivate your work and create possibilities, meaning and significance to feel alive and engaged, instead of depleted and drained.

When our guest today started her career as an educator, 80% of the teachers at her school were new, the result of tectonic turnover resulting from burnout on staff. That experience drove her to leave teaching after just a few years and pursue a career studying educator burnout and the big lesson along the way? "The more I researched [burnout], the more I realized it wasn't just a pattern in education, but that it was a pattern in health care, social work ... I began to see that it was a nation wide thing. ... Sixty-six percent, two out of three people that you see on a daily basis are burned out." Dr. Newburgh joins Howard today to share her experience studying burnout and her effort to help high-burnout organizations to create human-centered cultures that are more resilient to overwhelm and stress, higher-functioning, and healthier.
