I Can’t Get Motivated- Please Help!

Written by Glenn Hughes on Jul 21st, 2009 | Filed under: Motivation

Motivation is so personal as to hardly make sense. There is, however a science too understanding that different things motivate different people. Motivation means motive (a reason to ) and action (do something). Not really that complicated but might help understand what makes some of us think differently

Nobody is exactly the same as anybody else. There are, however four different things that you should learn about- they all motivate us by a greater or lesser extent. The four main motivators are: Participation, recognition, personal growth and achievement. Learning about them all helps us understand people a little more and will help us to get the best out of people

Personal growth is a big motivator. People who are motivated by this reason are generally self starters who use every opportunity to gain skills and strengths in areas in which they want to grow. They will often talk about what they learned from something, how they benefited, how they can use experiences gained in future tasks, etc.

Of all the four main motivators, recognition is the universal motivator. As a society, we all love awards, ceremonies, trophies, medals, badges and titles. This is universally shown across the world and shows the power of recognition. Even in the most primitive of societies, recognition is a powerful tool. Please make sure though that through your understanding of the power of recognition that it is never abused- deliberate refusal to recognize peoples achievements is manipulative and clearly very wrong, particularly to a child

The simple act of getting things done, i.e. achieving things is a key motivator for a significant proportion of people. No need for a song and dance for these people, they quietly get on with things and before you know it, they have achieved their goals. Even then, the inner satisfaction is far more important than the fanfare of recognition. Recognize them anyway- recognition never hurts- it can only help if it is genuine and heart felt

Being part of a team or just being involved in the decision making process is far more important to some people than all the recognition in the world. Leave them out at your peril. Want to turn off someone who thrives on participation? Just leave them out of things and see what happens. Men are prime culprits here- it seems as though this is more important for women than men. Involve everyone a best as you can and watch the team win

Whilst not one thing in isolation will make up for deficiencies in other areas, understanding the core principles governing our motivation can have a wonderfully productive effect on our families and our productivity. Better relationships are just one of the positive reasons to take more interest in this intriguing subject

Working with the principles within this article, it would be dangerous to just implement what you have read here without further research. Look into the subject a little more- you will be glad you did. There are a wealth of articles on this and many other subjects on our website- details at the end of the article

Ways to Compact Trash into a Landfill

Written by Amy Nutt on Jul 16th, 2009 | Filed under: Culture

As in individual, there aren’t a lot of different ways to compact the trash you compile in your home. In fact, the only way to really compact trash is to use a trash compactor. This appliance won’t be reducing the amount of trash you have but it will make it fit into a much smaller space. Since landfills have so much waste by definition, compacting trash can be a great way to keep the landfill from overflowing with trash.

When you are using a trash compactor, be careful not to put in dangerous materials along with it. Chemicals, paints, and even metal parts can be hazardous if they are thrown out with regular trash. Glass can also be a problem because it can damage the compactor itself and make the condensed trash unsafe to handle.

You can also compact trash yourself without the use of a compactor although the results won’t be exactly the same. Use containers you are throwing away to fill with more trash so that it takes up less space overall. Naturally it’s not as good as using the trash compactor but it’s the best option if you need to throw things out and you don’t have this tool at your disposal. Pushing down on the trash while it is still in the trash can also help to reduce the size of your trash.

Limiting the amount of trash you create altogether can also be a way to compact trash that will go to a landfill because there will be less trash altogether. The easiest way to do this is start recycling. The local dump will have recycling bins you can use to keep your recyclable materials sorted. Glass, cardboard and paper are all recyclable. If you are in a state that charges deposits on carbonated beverages, save the cans and bottles to return to get your deposit back.

You can also reuse a lot of household items that would normally become part of the trash. Plastic bags can be used for cleaning up after pets and they make free liners for smaller trash cans. Some people have even filled cushions with them for decorative pillows or seat cushions. Fabric can easily be reused no matter where it came from even if it has stains. Tie-dye or bleach can cover a stain and create a unique look for homemade curtains or sheets. Even computers can be recycled by taking them apart and selling the parts that still work.

Even changing your lifestyle can reduce your trash. Cleaning with homemade solutions lowers the amount of trash you have and the toxic waste. Eat at home more often with home cooked meals because fast food has a lot of trash. Purchase only things that you need to have and can’t just borrow from someone else. When you do need to make purchases you should buy high quality items that will last a long time. All of these things will make it easier for you to compact the amount of trash you send to a landfill.
