Summary

For many, motivation can come in waves. There are days when you feel like you’re getting everything on your list done and there are other days when you can barely manage to open up your to-do list. But why does this happen? How can we increase motivation? For starters, we have to look at how motivation is sustained and built. When we have a deeper understanding around motivation we are more likely to leverage this knowledge when we need it the most. The basis of this podcast is all around self-determination theory. This is a broad framework on the study of human motivation. It defines intrinsic and various extrinsic sources of motivation that has been developed by psychologists, Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, in 1985. Now, we don’t go into a lot about self-determination theory but we do break down the three sources of motivation which are: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. SUBMIT YOUR TIME SUCKING HURDLE!

0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your hosts, Michelle Emerson and Bridget Spackman,
0:05.3	and we are here to make your life easier by helping you master your time, organization,
0:09.8	and productivity as a teacher. This is a podcast episode I wish we had done sooner, because
0:16.5	once you truly understand how motivation works, you can harness that power to be your most
0:23.1	productive self. So today, we're getting a little sciencey and diving into the research
0:29.1	behind motivation. But first, let's listen to a TSA from a top teacher. So looking for new
0:36.3	podcasts to listen to after Thursdayss since I have listened to all of
0:41.3	your episodes. Wow. First of all, bless your heart for listening to all of hours. Okay, here are my
0:48.3	favorites. I'm going to name podcasts that have nothing to do with powerlifting because I guarantee
0:52.3	you none of you care about that.
0:59.8	So other than powerlifting, the other podcasts I listen to, stuff you should know is one of my favorites. Oh, that's a good one.
1:00.8	The topics are always super random.
1:02.8	So you don't have to listen to all of them, but you can pick and choose the ones that, you know, are interesting to you.

1:10.8	Oh, yeah. I absolutely love it. And then

1:23.1	the disappearance of Kristen Smart and that court case just wrapped up. So it's kind of a still pressing
1:29.4	thing going on to be able to listen to. Bridget, what are your favorites? Ooh, okay. So I'm going to do
1:34.6	some schooly ones and some non-schooly ones. Sold a story. I know is one that has been, you know,
1:40.5	huge within the literacy community. But y'all, it was like really well done. It wasn't
1:45.8	boring. It wasn't a snooze fest. Like, I really, really enjoyed it. So, like, sold the story was
