Motivation

Motivation is the process of activating, directing and maintaining behavior towards a specific goal or value.

Definition

Motivation is not a permanent resource that you simply have or lack. It depends on the importance of the goal, sense of influence, competence, energy, environment and expected reward. In practice, it often increases after the action begins, not before it.

Practice and life

Instead of asking "do I feel like it?", write down: why I'm doing it, what is the smallest step and what in the environment will make it easier to get started.

Common misunderstanding

It's a mistake to wait for the perfect desire. The second mistake is to base the entire change solely on external pressure and rewards.
