Temporal motivation theory

TemporalMotivation Theory is a way of thinking about how you stay motivated over a long period of time. It says that when a person wants to do something or achieve something, they will be motivated by how close it is on the timeline. So, for example, if you have a big project you want to finish, you will feel more motivated to get it done sooner if it is close to being finished rather than if it's still far away. This means you should plan out how you are going to achieve your goal so that each step is closer, making it easier for you to stay motivated.
