Motivation? Yep, you're right, that's today's topic. We will dive deep in it, based on the ideas of Dr Jordan B Peterson.
However motivation isn't everything when it comes down to finishing tasks, there are other factors too, like discipline and work ethic.
But motivation plays a major factor nonetheless, so today we will dive deep into motivation and figure out why is it so hard to sit down and study or work.
Also we'll mention few ways you can motivate yourself so you can stop feeling completely unmotivated and stop rotting away on your couch watching TV all day.
If you're able to motivate yourself do be productive on a daily basis, imagine what your life would look like in 2, 5, 10 years from now?
If that thought gets you excited, then watch the video and discover how to motivate yourself to study or how to motivate yourself to work. You'll never ever question again why is it so hard to sit down and study or work.
Simple psychological ideas may activate the productivity in you that was dormant all along.
If you are interested in the ideas in the video, they are adaptation on Dr. Jordan Peterson's ideas. He's got a whole program that enables you to write your past, present and future, and helps you identify and organize your goals. For the few that read this far, here is the program (not affiliated or sponsored) : selfauthoring....

In a nutshell: 1. Set a goal you want for yourself. 2. Imagine the result when you will be successful 3. Also imagine the small steps that will mark your improvement. 4. Imagine your failure if you don’t reach that goal. 5. Reward yourself for your efforts with something you enjoy.

Kamikan 22 - Hue hue ;-D. Well... I said to myself: Imagine you move on in the internet and by chance you miss the most valuable information of your life. I imagined then, if I make the effort to stay, how my life would improve, and my health and the whole environment surrounding me. And then, then I pushed the mute button and sought the subtitles. And the rest is history... The world is now a better place because of my effort to imagine the positive outcome :-), exactly like the video predicted ;-).
@MegaYoungday
@MegaYoungday 6 лет назад
I feel like overthinking is a good demotivator. It feels like we know too much about ourselves and knowing certain things interrupts the natural reactions to circumstance our brain has because it causes us to think more about the problem or solution. But never allowing us to take action. But that's​ might just be me lol.

Wow, I am doing those things you said. You know, I was so lazy at college but so productive at my work. I wonder why is that. Now I have realized that in comparison, for my work I have a clear view of what I want to achieve from it and what if I fail to do it properly. While I was doing college because my parents told me to go and I just follow that direction. I need to make this trick for my already 6 years running-college as well so I have at least the motivation to finish it and not waste my parents' money and my time. Great vid mate.

I think I'm demotivated and this video doesn't really help but fix my problem til I reach a point in time where I the perfect example for this video.. I have no one to talk to in the outside world, no friends to call or chat with or like real people who you want to be able to express your interests and emotions in your every morning and moment.... I mean... I have summer projects I have to be doing but I just can't do it.. Idk why.. But I feel really lonely and bummed out since my dad is also workin' as a nurse in a place where I can't see him sleep and tell us 'GOODNIGHT'... maybe a little too old till I hear him again....?

@shenkeey
@shenkeey 6 лет назад
It makes sense, but its often times a lot simpler. Eating is a goal that gives you pleasure. Studying doesn't give you pleasure - it's a LONG TERM goal that might give pleasure in the future. You function because of pleasure. Physical: avoid things that cause pain and do things that give you pleasure (which is why drugs are addictive). Psychological: avoid emotional pain (if impossible: negative feedback loop --> depression) and do things that are pleasurable. A long term, rather grey goal as ''career building'' just isn't as palpable as, say, playing a short-term pleasurable videogame. What can you do? Well not a lot. But you can, for example, condition yourself: give yourself a SHORT TERM pleasure afterwards. Like studying, and afterwards drink a starbucks coffee (ONLY IF YOU COMPLETE IT, you can't drink it without doing the activity). Now you make your goal short term, and therefor more palpable. Also, going to the library helps make it more easily mentally digestable too. Good luck.
@shenkeey
@shenkeey 6 лет назад
The idea in the video is good, and also correct. But it doesn't touch upon the fact that cognition isn't as powerful as limbic activity. You're FIRST emotional, and AFTERWARDS explain why you're emotional. That's why its better to change emotional behavior (which isn't long term) first and AFTERWARDS really drill it in with the idea in the video.
