COMPLETE Intro Psychology Course - ALL TOPICS - Motivation & Goal Setting (Intro Psych Tutorial #170)

www.psychexamreview.com In this last video on motivation I consider the relationship between motivation and the goals that we set for ourselves. I discuss the importance of setting self-concordant goals which are intrinsically motivated and then discuss strategies for achieving goals. In order to maintain motivation for the specific behaviors that need to be done in order to achieve a goal, it can be helpful to use implementation intentions. These if-then rules can help us to schedule our time and also help us to recognize opportunities to work on our goals that we might otherwise miss. They can also be combined with temptation bundling in order to accomplish the boring or routine aspects of a goal while engaging in something enjoyable (like watching tv or listening to a podcast). Lastly I consider how goal setting is (or should be) a never-ending part of a successful life as we can always ask ourselves what we want, what we can accomplish, and how we can make progress.
