Procrastination
Motivation= Expectation x value
Education is your value
Are you a product that others would try to buy or compete for?
Expectancy
High expectancy means high motivation because of our need for pleasure.
Try to have a learning environment that is controllable
Value
Do you care about the specific task? Do you value it?
The more rewarding the outcome the more motivating it is to pursue it.
Impulsiveness x Delay
Impulse: Sensitivity of delay
as a result one often grows less paitent
they focus on quick and immediate rewards rather than waiting for the long term rewards
Delay: How long one waits for the awards
The longer the wait, the less motivated
Opposite of work; Instead of tommorow it is today
Focus on winning the day
Do not say tomorrow because tomorrow doesn't come. specify the time and do what you're supposed to do today
