What to Focus On

  • Motivation is a psychological force that directs and energizes behavior.
  • It comes from the Latin word 'movere', meaning 'to move'.
  • It involves internal and external factors that drive action.
  • The three components of motivation are Activation, Persistence, and Intensity.
  • Activation means starting a task.
  • Persistence means continuing despite obstacles.
  • Intrinsic motivation comes from internal satisfaction.
  • Extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards.
  • Social, biological, achievement, and cognitive motivations influence behavior.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Motivation is the same as inspiration or a sudden feeling of energy.

Extrinsic motivation is always better than intrinsic motivation because rewards push you harder.

The motivation cycle ends once the goal is achieved.
