Recap of Nov. 23 '24 Motivation Strategy session
Session had lots of insights 🎆🎃🎇! And built on the Feb. 27, 2024 post, Motivation: Part 1, 2, 3 of 33. Core of the session built around the fact that everyone is motivated, and that Motivation is an emotion.
Focused on three insights:
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION
- A body at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
- If you have zero motivation, then you’re at rest!EXTERNAL FORCES THAT MOVE and MOTIVATE YOU
- An External Force is also called, Extrinsic Motivation. The ‘Ex’ means a force/influence that’s not within you.
Examples:
- Grade 11 student paid $5 for every 30 minutes he spent doing math questions at home,
- Grade 8 student offered a trip to New York if she got an 80 in math.INTERNAL FORCES THAT MOVE and MOTIVATE YOU
- An Internal Force is also called, Intrinsic Motivation. The ‘In’ means a force/influence that’s Inside you.
Examples:
- “I so badly want to do Aeronautical Engineering at university” (grade 10 student who had 50s),
- Grade 10 student with a mark in the 20s, and who did not want to be asked any question by his teacher as it would be too embarrassing to have his classmates see how little he knew.NEXT STEP?
- Put all these strategies in action.
- Start by finding a task you have to do but don’t want to do, then find a way to get fired up about it, with an External or Internal force.
