What is motivation?

• The energy that holds you back from doing something

• The energy that drives you to do something

• The energy that stops you from doing something

What is the most important thing to remember to understand motivations?

• Realizing the source of the drive

• Finding it along the way

• From books

• True

• False

Motivations will be short-lived if we focus on the outcome (extrinsic), rather than enjoying the process (intrinsic)

• True

• False

From the video, one of the takeaways is that

• Intrinsic motivation relies on the outcome of the task.

• Understanding your own source of motivation is not the best way to maintain motivation.

• Having both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is beneficial for some, but in some cases, it might hinder their own process.
