Hi everyone,
Module 7 covers an extremely important topic, motivation! This week I learned about what drives a person to achieve their goals, and what drives them to succeed. Motivation comes from two different sources. The first one, known as intrinsic sources relate to your own growth and interests, while the second, known as extrinsic sources, comes from things you hope to attain or avoid. Finding a healthy environment and creating good study habits are also important steps when it comes to staying motivated and getting your work done. For example, I study in the library where I can concentrate on my work and there are no outside distractions. I also have a study playlist that I use to keep me focused on my work. One important thing that this module taught me and I would like to share as advice to all my readers is that progress is a strong and effective motivator. Most people think that motivation comes before action, but often times action is needed to create motivation. Seeing yourself complete work and understanding that this is something you really can do helps a lot with motivation. I advise all the other students out there that struggle with finding motivation for their daily work, to get a little done and then look back on how you are now one step closer to achieving your goals and dreams.
Thanks,
Josh
