⚡ Momentum: The Antidote to Burnout
The opposite of burnout is momentum. When you experience momentum - like in weight loss or exercise - you become energized. It's the inverse of burning out: you put in effort and see returns, creating an energizing cycle.
Key characteristics of momentum:
- The ability to generate and maintain it is a learnable human skill
- Speed is crucial for creating momentum
- Requires combining incremental improvements with bold opportunities
- Balance small '+1' improvements with bold '+1,000' bets
When you're generating momentum, you first become excited yourself, then others become excited and want to collaborate with you.
