Yeah I've finished two whole degrees at the very last minute basically 😛
@tomo_13 ah cool, so it was a good project but the cause was also motivating by the sounds of things

When is a time that you've been really motivated to work towards something?
Hmmm... I find that I can get motivated to start lots of things - sticking with them long-term is the issue for me 😛 I've used motivation to work towards a uni degree, buy my first car and get help for my mental health issues 🙂

I just get short bursts of motivation that pop up from nowhere. Generally during SACs (assessments) that I have to do in class because if I fail I'll get close to having to redo the year level.

Here is a nerdy curve that kinda explains how stress helps, or doesn't help your motivation based on how much of it there is!

@Ben-RO ooh I love nerdy graphs like that 😄 I think motivation tends to be highest when we're in the middle, rather than at either extreme

It sounds like we've found that motivation can come from lots of different places. Which leads us to our next question:
Where do you think your motivation came from? Did you motivation waiver?

I know that with my project I wanted to finish it so it can help other people, but I also felt something *within* to get it done, and I fell that a lot with a lot of projects and tasks I do.

My motivation came from a couple of different things, one of them is stress. The random graph i shared basically says that there's a certain amount of stress that is actually really good, it gets too low and we just kinda don't get motivated, but also too much aint too good too. So when I'm motivated i generally have enough stress to help me feel motivated but not so much that i feel like i'm overwelmed and can't think straight. The other thing is wanting the thing to happen. So for example with study, if i don't see the point to doing a subject, like it won't help me discover more about what i care about or I can't see how it will help me do better at the things i want to do, it's very hard for me to get motivated to do it.

@tomo_13 can definitely relate - I often wonder where the motivation within really comes from/what drives it 🙂- Mark as New

@May_ I tend to be at both ends simultaneously too. I think if we become so anxious and burn ourselves out then it can turn into apathy, because we're just so exhausted

@May_ In a weird way it may come from external sources (i.e. friends, parents, teachers, society even!) and we want to impress them, but we just don't realise it??- Mark as New

@lokifish, I definitely think they can cross over and for me, sometimes it turns into that addictive obsession which isn't as fun as just being motivated.
