Motivation


Getting motivated for class is something can be difficult for some. For me, it is very difficult. I much rather be with my friends watching TV or playing video games. The reason that i don't do that all day and I do go to class is because I am motivated. My motivation comes from many different things. Originally, I thought that motivation can only come from oneself. After reading chapter 14 in Dr.B's book, I learned that there are many different ways for me to get motivated to get work done. After completing the external and internal chart, I realized that although I am motivated through my parents, I also motivate myself. Another useful tool I used was exploring rewards. Using this tool really showed me that by the amount of work I do is the size of the reward I receive. This toll has been very helpful because I am finding that I am managing my time much more then I used to.

  1. Chapter 14 is definitely a helpful part of the book for motivation, but self motivation is most important! You have to want to be motivated in order to be successful!
