Motivation

The recipe for blood, sweet and tears.

This chapter will be about the keystones for creativity team’s motivation.
If there is only one person responsible to get you motivated. it’s you! and your motivations state impact your surroundings. 

Motivation and engagement created through money is a old myth, when it comes to creative motivation.
Though money is a good stimulation towards production-work, when replication and routine behavior are in focus. Where creativity and engagement are involvement, money becomes the worst motivation factor, because it does not for fill individual needs to be free and open minded.

These 3 keystones are inspired from a life style coach Tony Robbins, on what makes people “do” on a level where creativity, engagement are these.
Answering these 3 questions is a great start.


1. Purpose, as in Why am I doing this?
2. Mastery, as In What do I wanna learn from this?

3. Autonomy, as in How do I wanna handle this?


There are no right or wrong answer to these question, what’s important is that it feels right. What made me convinced of the 3 keystones from Tony Robbins was the Mr. Popko P. van der Molen research in motivation of cognitive energy flow, from 1985. He discovered through his research, that motivation is a factor that only can be organized by the individual, but the impact from the environment determents even more how motivation is defined. So if we don’t got the motivation, our surroundings will suffer from it, and so vise versus.



Quality check of the team motivation.
Here is a small exercise. 
When was the last time you where proud of something?
Do you get the same feeling with project you are working on now?
If Not… Locate the reason to why you are not motivated, share your reason, why you are not motivated to day and what made you motivated the last time with the group.

I feel for me in order to work 110% I need to work with the things I like! and want to challenge my self with, and I want my group to understand, what makes me tick.
Sharing this with the group, makes it easier for me to work with the things, and in the way I like it too.

The reason to why we need to rediscover a our motivation is the fact our brain has the ability to recycling feelings, by activating old memories. These are mechanism that makes can make us sad, angry, happy and lots of other remixes of emotions from you subconscious mind. 

By discovering, analyzing, and defining what made us be motivated, you train your brain to activate these emotions and recycling the memory too your project. 
What the trick, is to remind your self everyday, why your motivated by that memory.
 
Too deal and seal these emotions, we need an artifact. Imagine an artifact as a shortcut to your and team motivation in a physical object. 
Because your team can’t simply score if you are not aiming for the goal, with out knowing why you are aiming.

So the artifact has to be a symbol of something that are goal in it self to achieve. You have to be able to touch it. Most common artifact is an creative awards.

Everything can be an artifact, what important is that every know which it is. Share, show and locate with your group. What motivates you and write it down so you can see it physical in front of you everyday, to confirm why, you are a team.

About:

My Creative language.
For some reason, the purpose of this website came from my frustration of creative blockades. That - GOD damn! hindered me every time, from finding “The” right idea.

So it began as a personal interest and ended as a fetish of documenting all my creative blockades, and reflect upon the solutions that made me get pass the blockade.

Later on.. it became more then a obsession then a tool, because it lets me discover side of my self, who I am as a person, and it lets me spot other peoples behaviors too.

The result are this, tools of model, processes and insights, that helps me creatively.
It is a map, that does not lead, but a map that guides my creative mind, and I want every to understand that this are tools to open up creativity and include it more then just excluding it.

And the last thing. I'm dyslexic, so for me, writing everyday, and learning by doing, is the core of why this blog exist.

I do this for me, but what I write about is for every one, feel free to use my content, visuals as you wish.
