When you think of extrinsic and intrinsic
motivation you think of how things can motivate you, but it can also relate to
procrastination. Having either motivation can lead to be a procrastinator no
matter what. We all know that we do it and we know it is not a good thing to do
it either. Having no motivation can be overwhelming and lead to procrastinate. Either
having a big project, lots of homework, or an overwhelming situation mostly
affects procrastinating. By having either extrinsic or intrinsic motivation, it
can lead to you not being a procrastinator.
By having extrinsic motivation, which means you
have motivation only because there is a reward in the end, it can still prevent
you from procrastinating at times. The obvious is that we will procrastinate at
some point and multiple times during our lives. But by having that reward at
the end can help from leaving a homework assignment or big project for last
minute.
"If practice doesn't make perfect then at
least it makes progress"
Practicing having either motivation can save you
from procrastinating often. It doesn't matter which one you have, but the good
part is that they both help in the end. People say having extrinsic motivation
is not the way to be because all you want is that reward. Others say the
opposite. Some people say having intrinsic motivation is the best way because
you learn from the experience and appreciate the learning path you just had. I
think that having either motivation can be good. Sometimes things motivate us
differently. Sometime I may only be looking for the reward, but other times I
may be looking to appreciate the experience and what got me there.
In the end having either motivation can lead to preventing procrastination. People just never really think about it!
