Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning, this is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is that if you want to run more, sign up for a race.
In other words, create a goal with a deadline for anything you want to spend more time doing.
Specific goals really do motivate people.
So when one is an option, it can be wise to avail yourself of the opportunity.
I really do like to run.
I like being outside and moving and getting in a better mood as a result of that runner's high.
I like having time away from the bustle of my full house.
So I run pretty regularly without any particular goal on the horizon.
Indeed, I once ran for 1 ,100 days in a row.
And yet, having signed myself up to run a half marathon this fall, I find myself running more frequently and covering greater distances too.
Even with a fair amount of intrinsic motivation, an external goal still helps.
Why is that? I think that probably many people have a vague sense that it would be a good idea to run.
But on days when we don't particularly want to, the rational choice is not to run.
Having a nebulous sense that it's a good idea to run is not enough to outweigh a specific desire to get ahead on a work project or start dinner or catch up on a few extra minutes of sleep.
It's not necessarily a lack of willpower that keeps people from getting out the door.
It's the lack of a reason that is stronger than all the reasons not to run.
But when you sign up for a race, instantly you have a compelling reason to go run.
If you are running a marathon in three months and you consider skipping your long run on a Saturday because you would rather sleep in, it is easy to realize that this may threaten your ability to run that marathon on the date when it is supposed to happen.
So you will probably lace up your shoes and get going.
Maybe you don't do every run in your training plan.
You might get sick or be traveling for work, but you do a lot of them because doing them will help you finish.
It seems so simple and obvious.
Of course a specific goal with a specific deadline is motivating.
And yet we sometimes don't think we need such things.
Or else we don't figure out how to create such goals for other things in our lives.
For instance, if you want your house to be decluttered, you are much more likely to do it.
If a truck and three guys will be showing up at your house in two weeks for the two dozen boxes of donations that you promised them.
If you want to write a novel, doing the National Novel Writing Month Challenge with two friends is going to be a lot more motivational than just thinking you will write sometime.
If you have a big presentation coming up, then asking your work friends to set aside 30 minutes to watch you rehearse is going to nudge you to prepare the presentation by that time.
You have a deadline and you have people watching.
You definitely don't want to screw this up.
By giving yourself a reason to do something, like a deadline and accountability, you'll make it easier to get it done.
Even though I am intrinsically motivated to run, I will probably sign up for a few more races in the future.
Perhaps you might find yourself similarly motivated, too.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
