Without deadlines, what really gets you to finish your work? I say just the feeling of having it done, and not stressing about the completing the assignment. Also, it saves you from the anxiety of having zeroes in the gradebook. It helps for future experiences to be on top of things early instead of doing it last second to get it done.
Motivation is a will to keep going, I believe as long as you have that will you can keep going as much as you want. Struggle and hardships are really just in-differences that you choose to acknowledge because you lack the faith in yourself to keep going, so your mind makes excuses to break your will. But if you continue through it and persevere then you'll realize that you could do it all along.
Speaking from experience here; deadlines simply do not motivate me to complete assignments or anything that furthers my education. A short-term, burst like motivation source is seeing a notification that your grade changed on the PowerSchool cell phone app. A long-term source of motivation is the subconscious thought that what I am doing academically will benefit me in some way, regardless of whether it is pleasurable or not. As long as you are taught the correct information, learning will always benefit you or I in some way, shape, or form. There may be times (definitely happens a lot) where you feel like what you are learning is not benefiting you because it does not pertain to your life goals or major in college; this often happens with required high school classes or for college students taking general education courses that do not align with their major. As stated before, the key is to have the subconscious thought that this is benefiting me, even if it doesn't seem remotely probable in real time. Jacob Out **drops mic**
To motivate myself on doing work is to just think about playing soccer for the school. For me to play for the school is to get good grades. If my grades didn't involve in soccer, my grades wouldn't be as good as it is right now.
To motivate myself on school work is focusing on my dreams. I focus on it because I want something great for myself in the future. I don't just focus on it I'm chasing dreams. That's how I motivate myself by me chasing my dreams because if I don't do work I'm basically wouldn't be doing school work because I also need a great education to become someone great!!
I also like this way to motivate yourself because scoring goals in soccer goes as completing my school work. Without scoring goals I wouldn't have good grades.
Even if I have deadlines for a assignment most of the time I turn in stuff late which is a pretty bad habit, but for the most part I TRY MY BEST
I like to have good grades and want to have a good future.
I believe what sincerely motivates me to get my work done is based off what subject I'm in. It's not only that, but it's really the feeling you get when you finally complete your work. I'm not usually one to fall behind in my classes, however generally when I fall behind it's because I feel rushed to complete it, which I do understand because of grades and everything. However, the more I feel rushed, the more I feel like I won't have the time to understand anything I'm learning.
Other than the deadlines is just the fact of not worrying about it on the due date. This gets stress off of me and also to have a better future for myself.
I can relate to playing soccer for the school which motivates getting good grades.
I dance three nights a week and if I don’t get things done I know my Mom will take that away. Doing something you love motivates me too.
The way I motivate myself to get things done is to reward myself. A reward may be extra gaming time, tv time, or even money from my Mom. Also, i take dance 3 nights a week and if my stuff doesn’t get done, this reward will be taken away. Depending on the things I have to get done determines the size of the reward.
yes i agree because i'm the same way when doing things it depends on the subject when im doing things and it will get me motivated when i start doing it and then i will get that task done.
things that gets m motivated it depends on what im doing and it will get me motivated when o start doing it and get into the groove of doing it and i will get it done if it needs to be done and thats what gets me motivated.
how do you motivate yourself to get stuff done?
I put my mind to it and try to get my mind in it and try to get it done
I feel the same way it does depends on how i feel
I don't know how I find the energy to do my assignments. I think it's because I want to be somebody in life and to get to the spot I want to be in I have to work hard and it all starts here. Maybe if I kill myself working I will be able to someday obtain everything I ever wanted.

yeah, I totally agree with this, sometimes I feel like learning doesn't even matter anymore it's now about grades and passing.
Getting to know new things motivate me. Every time I learn something new I use what I just learned in my everyday life. I think learning new things helps me grow as a person to be a better person or at least try to be a better person. I also like deadlines because it always motivates me to do things at the least minute and get everything done.
The only thing that can motivate me is an interest in the topic at hand. If I don't find a topic interesting I have a hard time getting involved in the topic. It has to be engaging in order for me to enjoy it.
I don't understand why you copy and pasted a tank onto the thread about motivation. It is confusing as what it has to do with the topic. The only thing I can figure is that seeing it on this thread might cause someone such as myself to reply to it, however that is simply a guess.
What motivates me to do this is that I have the urge to finish things that are needed to be done especially when its something I enjoy to do.
I agree with this but sometimes people domt have the will to keep going.
To motivate myself I think of my future. I would like to have a good job in my future but to achieve that I need to study hard and try to have good grades on all my classes.
Deadlines are the main thing that gets me to do work. But also wanting good grades and to pass my classes.
I motivate myself by listening to music, it really helps me to focus.
thats a good way to motivate yourself.
I am a simple person, i want to play video games, so i have to do my work. But i forget a lot and play my games anyway because it makes me happy so i don't do my work sometimes, like now-
When it comes to motivation for me I have to tell myself to get my work done so that I can play video games and watch anime. I might turn in all work late but still I do the work and if I fail my parents will probaly take my console and phone away from me. I am not trying to get my electronics taken away from me so I push myself to do the work.
I feel you dude video games are really fun to the point you forget about your work but we have to do our work in order to pass this class.
Trying to pass the grade is what motivates me to finish the work the ya'll give us and not saying that your going to fail the assignment because if you keep saying that then you are going to fail the assignment.
Will sometimes my motivation is my mother and I just ask myself do I want a better life style than my father or mother have passed. but for the Most part that is my motivation.
yeah man your right sometimes instead of thinking you can't do it, you still got to do it and sometimes when your feeling it your doing it right .
passing and not failing motivates me to do anything in school.
Without deadlines, what keeps me going is the satisfation I get from just knowing it's something behind me and is of no more a burden to me. I'd like to have a good looking report card, and some time to myself to deal with other matters that may also need my attention. And I like what you said, " It helps for future experiences to be on top of things early instead of doing it last second to get it done." I like that way of thinking, it's always better to have good and useful habits. I really think that acquiring such habits with you will only make things easier and more pleasent later in ones future.
tbh what keeps me going is god an his love including other people i know i was so down latly until i just started doing my own stuff like playing guitar,drums and etc but if your on here let me say this no matter what it looks like your going to get throught it this corona is not going to keep us down for long if we get vaccinated and just where mask were going to be back in shape.
One way to motivate myself is ti listen to music while doing work.
yea man that's another reason for my motivation
I try to get assignments done the day they are assigned, if they aren't done by then, once I see a notification that the assignment has been graded in Powerschool and see my grade, that would motivate me into actually being responsible for once and completing it.
I motivate myself to do work after seeing it has an F in powerschool. even by then it takes a bit for me to want to do it.
I wish i had that mentality to be honest.
Deadlines don't motivate me to do work because I always say "I'll do it later" and likely not do it,. Instead, I look at how my grade will be impacted and finish the assignment.
This happens to me sometimes.
Everything should motivate you. Anything could be your motivation. Deadlines stress me out and make me not want to enjoy what I need to do but always having unsettling deadline may stress you out but you can turn that into motivation and get what you need do and get it done.
always wanting to better myself and better others motivates me. i want to be the best me and i want others to strive for success.
thats a little late to be motivated but works for me
My motivation would be ability to have freedom, If I don't have good grades I'm grounded and I couldn't do anything including sports or having a job.
By giving myself a purpose to do said objective like a reward or something
When i see how bad my grades are, i motivate myself to do my work.
What motivates me to get stuff done is having the assignment or whatever the task done and not worrying about it. If I never do it in the first place then eventually I'm just not going to do it. I find that is my "motivation" to get task done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Same when I find that my grades are going down I have this sudden urge to complete my work and bring my grades up.
Usually what helps me get them done, is the fact that I know it'll help future me. So by doing 3-4 assignments a day Monday- Thursday, this will help Friday me be able to relax more.
Yeah, those uncompleted assignments in Powerschool makes everyone want to do it. Especially if it's a quiz or test grade.
In my opinion, to stay motivated about something, I set goals I want to accomplish first. Second, try to do my best and don't give up. Write down each positive thing I experience throughout the day. Give me credit for the small things I do, and if I have some difficulties, ask for help, but never give up.
not to have to hear my teacher talk about it aging
How do i motivate myself to get things done i keep pushing myself and telling myself i can do it
i agree never give up keep pushing your self until you have accomplished it
When I have late work, Nana motivates me one way or another.
Well what help that most is know that If I don't try I will letting a lot of people down. Not just that I want to have a chance to help people in any way can. It can be from teacher, students, or adults in general.
My motivation is my mom and dad they work extremely hard just to feed us and i just want to do better in school to appreciate what they're doing for me and i want to make them proud because they are precious to me.
that's right i don't want to give up on things before i finish it or else i wouldn't feel accomplished.
That's correct because i don't want to see F's all the time everytime i see my grades because it makes me do better and better.
what motivates me is listening to music while doing work it gets me a with a rhythm
Normally I would be constantly reminding myself that I have work to do in the back of my mind, I would usually be worrying over it. It would take a while for me to get the motivation and finally start working on it but I would always end up getting it done sometime later.
That also works for me too
I think of the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment to motivate me.
i just watch other people do it
Me not wanting to hear someone complain at me
I motivate myself by thinking of how mad my parents will get if I don't do it.
What gets me to finish my work without deadlines is the fact that when I go home, or if I'm getting ready to go out to eat at a restaurant, or maybe even just lounging around, I don't want that assignment to be constantly in my mind while i'm enjoying my downtime. Honestly, I even prefer to finish the assignment the minute it's assigned to the class.
I can understand that because if I don't get my assignments done then my mom will take away my phone or my computer and that is something I enjoy.
My motivation to get things done is so that I will have good grades and that I will not have the things that I enjoy taken away from me like my computer and cell phone. I really do like to get good grades it makes me feel successful and good.
I can relate my mom annoys me whenever i dont do something
My motivation to get all my work done is to be able to play sports. What I do to help is to open a new tab on everything I need done and exit out the tab as I do them, the clutter motivates me.
I agree that is the same thing that motivates me too
Deadlines can be a good way to help motivate people, however they don't motivate me as much as the assignment being a little more interesting to me. I feel like I work better when I'm enjoying the assignment instead of a deadline telling me when it has to be done, because I probably won't get it done in time due to procrastination. As an example, this assignment is 3 days late.
The only thing that motivates me to keep on going is my pride, friendship, trustworthiness, partnership, teamworking etc...
what motivates me is what comes up that tell me to do it or money.
Without delines, I do my work when I can, even when I procrastinate. I find a way to get my work done when I'm able to. Besides, sometimes even with deadlines, my work doesn't get turned in on time. My work gets turned in and finished when the time is appropriate for me, especially when school is where I can complete 99% of my work
I just focus on finishing the assighnment so im done
Motivation is the key in life currently but lately nothing makes me motivated now someone on the other hand does but you know how it goes.
Understandable and I respect the honest answer.
Something that motivates me is getting good grades to get into a good college. Also my family and friends because they always tell me to live my life to it's fullest
yes even though work is past deadline or you have no motivation it makes you feel good of yourself when you turn everything in.
I really only motivate myself when I actually want to do said thing.
The way I motivate my self is that tell my self I need to be the best me I possibly can
I have post a answer back in February 2021 and during the time my thoughts have change. But not same much as you think my way are still the same. The only thing that I believe that has change is that I want to prove to myself that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to that I can succeed with my own ability.
This might be a little cringe or really cringe lol, but I motivate myself by thinking on how much my parents have worked so much so I can get a better future. Also how I want them to be proud of me knowing that all their hard work paid off.
Agreed sometimes it's so much build up but with enough motivation you end up finishing all.
I motivate myself to get stuff done by using things against my own self, like for an example if I know I am on the basketball team, I would act like my coach and tell myself to do my work or I would not be on the team no more, another way I motivate myself is my future, If I don't do work now I know I wouldn't it in the future so I just get used to doing it now.
To motivate myself I listen to music and I get lost in the music most times cause I can relate.
I try to get stuff done as soon as it appears because other wise I put it way off and don't get it done.
The best way to motivate myself to do things is to tune out everything else and force myself to work on the thing I was doing and nothing else.
I agree as I often need to do things that are important and can only motivate myself to do them because I know I need to get them done or there will be negative consequences otherwise.
I motivate myself by telling myself that if I do it now, I get to relax/sleep later. So, in conclusion I do everything for sleep.
What motivates me to do my work is if there's a reward for it.
Same, I don't really have motivation without a reward.
Sometimes I think about how it will effect my future and how it will effect my life but most of the time deadlines encourage me to get stuff done.
To motivate myself, I think about my future, which I will be after I finish studying
and after studying start a new career.
to motivate myself i think of food
by thinking about my family
do it because its gonna helps you an the futures
To motivate myself the quicker I get something done the more time I have to do whatever I want to do.
If you feel motavited to do something then it will make you want to do it more
not a quitter, I focus on my future.
Motivation is a good thing, it gives you a reason to do something and makes it all worth while when it's completed. It makes the experience worthwhile, giving you incentives such as school giving you things at the end of the year and summer vacation.
i just put it in my head and tell myself i got to do it
i movtiate myself by trying my best
i motivate myself by doing
I motivate myself any many different ways. My first motivation is not having my work grouped into a big pack. The second motivation is having good grades. Finally, the last motivation is not having homework on the weekends.
Whenever I find myself needing to do a tricky task, I deprive myself of something I like and only let myself do it after I get my work done! It is very efficient and I always get my work done by doing this fun life hack!
the pros and the cons of the assignment how many days late was the assignment how many points will it give me
I get motivated in many ways. I usually tell myself that things will worsen if I do not complete my work. Another method is that I will think about what I could do when I am finished.
To motivate my self, I have to want it or I have to want it for my future, if I believe I can I will try.
I agree, deadlines motivate me sometimes but never to push me as hard as a I can.
Not including deadlines, how do you motivate yourself to get stuff done? The way I motivate myself is to think to myself njd listen to music
I think my motivation without deadlines is just getting my mindset to want to finish whatever im doing and half the time it works to get it done. As an artist, ive had 4 year hiatuses and i can tell you that it is absolutely horrible... I have also had recently like a year hiatus and it really breaks you, but once you get the motivation to want to do something like art or whatever youre into i think you come on stronger. After every single one of my hiatuses and coming back i feel like my art has gotten better and even though it sucks i feel like it makes you change and makes you better,
Without deadlines, what really gets you to finish your work? That if I don't do I know will have tons of work to do and it will pill up. I don't want to stress about finishing my work I prefer doing so It doesn't affect me later.
usually i get motivated to do something that ive put off for a while by putting off something new, so procrastinating over a new thing by doing a dififerent thing that i procrastinated over in the past. also deadlines, i do things right before theyre due
thats super cool, i think its great that you can come back to something and do it better
I motivate myself to get stuff done by thinking about the rewards I get for getting good grades
What motivates me is thinking of the consequences or thinking of what i really want. I usually think of my future too.
The one thing that motivates me for deadlines is the fact that if i don't get that specific thing done, then they are usually bad consequences.
I motivate myself but turn in my work on time and to have my work done by Friday. But I will sometimes hear music so that I won't fall asleep doing work.
My motivation is to prove others that i can be better. just later however... (procrasination is my enemy)
my techer taking my phone
to motivate my self i play games :)😀
what motivates me is what would happen if I don't do it or the rewards
the feeling of having it done
To motivate myself, well what i do is get up and go to the mirror and look at myself and as i know that it's just a bad day not a bad life and that ive been through worse before and i menaged to keep up so now i can do it again, and i know that im stronger and depression don't deserve a man like myself. im better than that
Deadlines are a massive L. I say we get rid of them
i make just think of what could happen if i dont get anything done
my motivation is to not get my work stack up because that means that I have more work to do.
Motivation is a will to keep going, I believe as long as you have that will you can keep going as much as you want. Struggle and hardships are really just in-differences that you choose to acknowledge because you lack the faith in yourself to keep going, so your mind makes excuses to break your will. But if you continue through it and persevere then you'll realize that you could do it all along.
myseld and also my parents motivate me to succeedand to become something
I just do it the sooner you do it the better then you can do what you like and what to do
to motivate myself i look behind the results knowing how I'm going to benefit from it.
what will happen if i dont do it and that its better to do it now
the consequences if I don't do it
I find motivation by just going okay I'm going to do this and that's the end of it.
All the motivation I need is the promise of free time after my work. I get things done really fast so I don't have to worry about it later or all day long and I can relax.
I think that music helps motivate me to get my work done and the consequences of not doing them.
I tell myself to do it now so I dont have to worry about it later
You know how you get the motivation to get up and dance to music? Well if my intention is to get up and clean, I get the motivation to get up and clean with music.
just want to do the thing or what I get out of it
I don't motivate myself, sometimes I feel like doing something and sometimes I don't.
Motivation is something everyone uses to get a job done, it can be from something simple like doing a simple chore, or mowing the lawn in the hot sun outside, I myself dislike doing tasks that I don't enjoy, but i motivate myself by thinking about getting it done now instead of later, so that way I can enjoy doing the things I love to do without interruptions.
I motivate myself by thinking of my future and my goals as well as I know how bad it is getting behind on work from previous school years
OP brings up a lot of good, and very reasonable responses in this reply, that I fully agree with!
The thing that motivates me is music why because it makes me work fast and get things done and not distracted and focusing on my work instead on other things.
to motivate myself i always just imagine the assignment is due way earlier than it actually is or ill just keep telling myself "the sooner you finish, the more time you have to play games." its efficient.
To motivate myself, I just think about like the consequences, or what could happen if I didn't do it. I think about the positives and not the negatives.
If i wanted to be motivate I'ma try to get the hard work outta the way if i do then i will have the easy ones to do for last and i won't be wasting my time in working with the hard works
I like to have good grades and want to have a good future.
I just get the stuff done in other words you could say I get the stuff done first so its done and out the way so I have more time to do whatever else that is needed to be done and/or wanted to be done/do, etc.
i motivate myself with music.
Motivation for me is mostly fueled by ambition/passion. I focus not on my past, but future. I always want to improve on my personal works and grow myself as a person, I want to constantly learn to make ends meet and use knowledge and intuition to build a life I want. And although that can lead to burnout easily, to practice self care along with a constant work ethic can be a very sustainable and effective growth path.
Very true, but it takes self improvement and a healthy mindset to interpret such motivation in a proper light. Self-positivity is a very important tool.
i just think of my future truck
To motivate myself I just kinda have to convice myself to do it but most of the time I just don't do whatever it is I was going to do due to me just forgeting about it intill i have to do it or just not seeing much point and putting it off
Something besides deadlines that motivates me is when I think of how nice it would be if it was already done and I put on music and stuff when I do the things I don't feel like doing.
I motivate my self is to do it now so I don't have to anything in the future so I can do what ever I want. if I just let it build up I would have a lot of work to do on a short period of time.
I make a list of things i have to do and put it somewhere i can see it and set a time i will do it and when i get up from doing nothing i see it and just start to do it
I motivate myself so I can have a better life in the future.
Music motivates me to get things done
My parents a huge form of motivation for me, I'm really lucky to have parents who care about me and my future and as long as I get good grades they will let me hang out with friends or do an sport that I want to do so i guess my motivation usually comes from the fact that I can do the things I enjoy if I have good grades.
I want to get into college so that motivates me
im motivated to get good grades because if i dont i will lose my ps4
to motivate myself i think about how every one hates me and how i can prove them wrong and how i can be better person to everyone and to myself
this is true i really at this point lost the will to go on with my life
how i motivate myself is putting my mind on the thing im doing and only the thing im doing.
I can relate to playing soccer for the school which motivates getting good grades.
I dance three nights a week and if I don’t get things done I know my Mom will take that away. Doing something you love motivates me too.
I motivate myself by soccer because I need to have good grades in order to play
I think what really motivatives me to get things done is some free time to do fun stuff.
I get motitived to get my work done by having time to do my other things.
The way that i motivate myself to get things done is i turn on some high tempo and mood lifting music, that usually gets me in the mood to get things done.
