Author Joanna Jast says motivation is overrated. Why? Because it’s fickle, it comes and goes. Some days we have tons of motivation, some days we don’t have any. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work like that. We all have commitment and deadlines, and we’ve got to get ourselves going, focus and get things done. That’s why we need to create systems that run on autopilot, so we don’t have to rely on unreliable motivation.
