A new year always provides the opportunity to take stock and make changes towards a better future.
This applies even more to studying and careers. And the new year, you need motivation.
Motivation comes in 2 forms:
Extrinsic Motivation:
Motivation fueled by external factors. Such as the reward of a pay rise for passing or the fear of friends and families reactions to failing.
Also, the desire to get a good pass rather an average one.
As we all know, external motivation can be powerful but it has its downside.
You start to depend on the reward (pay rise, no shame etc) rather than engaging fully in the activity of studying itself,
Which brings me to…
Intrinsic Motivation:
This is the internal drive to study for the joy and satisfaction of studying – eek!
It’s about getting pleasure and interest from it.
This type of motivation actually keeps you studying longer and better – but how do we gain that?
Use these factors:
* Autonomy: choose a study path that you yourself direct – one that you control.
* Relatedness: Connect with others and be a part of something larger than yourself.
* Set Personal Goals: Be a person who learns and improves themselves – studying is just what you do. Every day.
* Have Challenges: You’re a person who improves themselves daily.
* Be Curious: Approach the classrooms with a sense of wonder – why are leases treated like they are? Why do we depreciate assets… ask why…a lot!
* Think of the Bigger Picture: not only do you grow as a person but your family and those around you gain benefits too
So, PlatinumGold 360 Solutions allows you to be fully in control of when and how you study – but we are also aware of the benefits of study groups, so this is something we have already introduced.
Additionally, we feel we could add in more motivational activities/reminders throughout so expect to see more of these popping up throughout 2024.
We all need to improve ourselves and do so continually.
Understanding both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation is key to finding lasting drive and satisfaction in studying.
By recognizing the role of these motivational forces and learning how to balance and enhance them, you can transform studying into a source of joy and fulfillment.
