Where do you think your motivation came from? Did you motivation waiver?

 

My motivation wavers all the time. It's super fluid - sometimes I'm really into what I'm doing, and sometimes I just don't want to do anything and UGH (although that might not be lack of motivation, that might just be a dip in mental health, idk). My motivation comes from a bunch of places, I think the two main ones are fear (like fear of consequences about having not done my maths homework), and success (like finishing an awesome creative project).

When is a time that you've been really motivated to work towards something?
 
If it's a project I'm SUPER into, that helps me with motivation. Also if it's something important, or if it's due really soon, I tend to be motivated to do things, but I much prefer the first reason. I did NaNoWriMo last year (where you write 50,000 words of a novel in the month of November) and that was really motivating because I had a daily goal to meet, and a bunch of other nerdy amateur writers supporting me.

@roseisnotaplant I love that we both used the example of NaNoWriMo, haha!
