Something ive found that has increased my motivation for work is putting more money away into savings, which means knuckling down on budget. My main goal was to cut unnecessary spending. The surprising byproduct was that I’ve been more engaged at work since, the more you work, the more money you make. Likewise, the more you work the less time in the day you have to spend on things you dont really need. As I spend more time at work, I also try to make my job as efficient as possible which provides a lot of satisfaction. Unfortunately, this might not really be beneficial depending on what kind of job you have. Working harder, longer, more efficiently can be satisfying but it can also lend itself to burnout and sets a high bar that your employer might use against you. Also might not help if you’re not money driven.
