Motivation :)

In order to know what motivates you, you must know your personal needs and strengths. But knowing what you should try to gain more of and what you should avoid – and actively managing those factors – is the key to sustained motivation over the long term.

I have read a research shows that sustained motivation and engagement consists of

1.) External rewards

2.) Internal motivators  

3.) Motivation capability.

The research comes up with five basic rules for motivation and engagement:

In order to achieve high levels of sustained motivation and engagement, you need to:
1) Have decent working conditions, and feel respected among good colleagues in a good atmosphere.
2) Know your needs.
3) Be conscious of your talents.
4) Work with tasks that align as much as possible with your needs and strengths while still providing challenge and growth.
5) Know exactly what you should pursue and what you should avoid in order to remain highly motivated.

Let’s get started motivating and engaging ourselves and others. We’ll have more fun, be more efficient and earn more money – what are we waiting for?
