Here I report various factors that contribute to increase people motivation:

• Having a growth mindset. See Mindset.
• Following self-transcendent values. See Values.
• Creating a vision, but also focusing on execution. See Balance vision and execution.
• Getting quick wins and celebrating successes.
• Using some gamification techniques may help to boost motivation. However it is important that people are intrinsically motivated, otherwise it may not work.

Here I report various factors that contributes to decrease people motivation:

• Self-criticism. See Self-Compassion.
• Focusing too much on possible negative outcomes. Thinking about the risks to prevent them is correct. However focusing too much on possible negative outcomes particular without considering how to prevent or deal with them, decreases motivation.
