It had been a goal of mine for a while and, as is often the case , I experienced a mild sense of discontentment immediately after achieving what I’d long been dreaming of.

It's really dangerous to think there are vastly different motivators in the non-profit world. You'll notice that in the for-profit world, in the new workplace, money is not a key motivator.

I'm starting to see posts that seem to suggest that motivation should be all stick, no carrot. It may not help you tick off more tasks and accomplishments in the short term … but it just might transform your "To Do List" entirely. By doing so you can motivate to produce even superb results.

I think you need to write a post about things you've done right, things you want, and how you are going to move on and accomplish them. And each of your break-ups has been motivated by fear of this growth and change, rather than by nastiness or gossip. We play hide and seek with our own motives. Is this honesty?

But remember, your sons don't care about getting out the door on-time so you'll have to motivate them some other way. Then I leave early to get the kids. Don't.
