Motivation

I don't really feel motivated. I understand why I would be motivated. I'm invested now, I want to do my best, I'm too close to success to let one more sleepless night get in my way. But I don't regularly feel a powerful urge to do what I do.

 

Thank goodness there is some sort of unavoidable, powerful, subconscious motivation at work, because I have 100% relied on it to drive my academic pursuits. I get my homework done, by golly, because I can't not get my homework done.

 

This has been a confusing few sentences and I'm not entirely sure what I was trying to say. It's been nice procrastinating on that Bio paper, though.

That's generally how college went for me as well... just be careful to try and minimize that once you get out. It's a pain to be chronically stuck with obligation as your only source of productivity.

Obligation doesn't work as a source of productivity for me. 

 

And so far, the only motivation that works is people. If people want/like/probably will like something, I'm on it. Otherwise, nothing will make me do it.
