Extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards or forces, such as bonuses or recognition, while intrinsic motivation comes from an internal desire for the activity itself or its inherent value. Extrinsic motivation tends to be short-term and requires a steady supply of external rewards, while intrinsic motivation leads to longer-term commitment and action even when no one is watching. Although external rewards are fine, there needs to be an underlying intrinsic motivation to sustain motivation through challenges and obstacles.
It’s 2024 and hopefully you haven’t already given up on your goals for the year.
Today, we’re going to talk about the best and worst ways to set goals. We’ll talk about the factors that make you more likely to achieve your goals, why you lose motivation by week three, and the most common error everyone makes when deciding to change themselves for the better. We’ll also be sharing some of our personal goal disasters along the way to learn what not to do.
We’d also like you to share your goals with us! Details on how to do that are here.
Happy New Year.
