All you need to do is compare a gym in January with a gym in February to see how quickly motivation drops off for the average person. We often think of motivation as an elusive, uncatchable force that comes an goes as it pleases, leaving us whenever it wants to in unpredictable patterns. In this episode with Virginia Tech educational psychology professor Dr Brett Jones, we reveal that motivation is something you can deliberately increase in yourself, and we discuss his MUSIC model of motivation and how we can leverage it to push ourselves to our goals.
