    Daily writing prompt
    What motivates you?

    This is a nice prompt. Simple, three words, and could be made very straight up, or very complex. For me the things that motivate me are just the events that follow up what I am trying to do, or simply the human reward system. This is just the satisfaction of finishing something, the urge to want to find out more, the feeling to end what you have started. I feel like this is the main reason why people do what they do.

    Another case could be the psychology of the unknown, more specifically the zeigarnik effect(yes this is not something i just made up 🙂 ), this is something where people remember more of incomplete tasks than complete ones and this is a proved theory and phenomenon. Just think about it like this you do two worksheets for school, none of them are actually graded, and you only fully complete one, the other is only half-finished, in a month’s time you are more likely to remember that half complete one. If you remember this worksheet so much you are bound to think about going back and finishing it.

    Thanks for reading!
