The truth is, I'm not really motivated and I know how important this subject is. I know how much better (and more efficient) I work if I am more motivated and when I look at how my company handles this I can't help but wonder how they've maneged to become as successful as they are (no, I'm not telling you where I work). I think that the most important thing (for me at least) is that I want them to keep me in the loop. If I know exactly what I'm working towards and can clearly see and envision the end product, I can actually enjoy working. I do. And if I have to stay a bit longer that day, it's not nearly as difficult. I just wish my boss would read this, but there's not way I'm sending him the link. Well... back to work.
