A Formula for Motivation
V x E = M• V = Values (how important something is to us)• E = Expectation (how confident we are about
achieving it)• M = Motivation (how motivated we are when you
multiple V and E)
7
Example of V x E = M
• Joe’s goal is to earn an “A” in his English class
• Joe want’s to become a published author, so his goal has high value, a 10
• Joe always has done well in writing course, so his expectation of success is also 10
• Joe’s formula:
V x E = M10 x 10 = 100
• Clearly, his motivation is high
• Dive Deeper: What if it was a science class? Science is not Joe’s favorite subject.

How to Set a Goal Using DAPPS
• To be truly motivating, a goal needs 5 qualities• “DAPPS” is an acronym:– Dated– Achievable– Personal– Positive– Specific
11
Dated
• Motivating goals have specific deadlines• Short term goals are a few months or less• Long term goals are usually more than a year• As your deadline approaches, your motivation
typically increases• If you don’t meet your deadline, you have
opportunity to review and create a new plan• Without a deadline, you could stretch your pursuit
of a goal and may not reach it
12
Achievable
• Motivating goals are challenging but realistic• Example:– Getting ready for a marathon:• Practice one week before by running around the block• Practice one year before with someone who has done it
• Set your limit… not too high and not too low• Ask yourself: “Is achieving this goal at least 50%
believable to me?” Or “Can this be done?”
13
Personal
• Motivating goals are your goals, not someone else’s
• Ask yourself if this goal contribute to your personal desire/dream
14
Positive
• Motivating goals focus your energy on what you do want rather than on what you don’t want
• Translate negative goals into positive goals– Negative: I’m not going to fail this class– Positive: I’m going to earn at least a B in this class– Negative: I will stop being late to classes– Positive: I will arrive early to every class– Negative: I will stop eating junk food– Positive: I will start eating healthy food
15
Specific
• Motivating goals state outcomes in specific, measurable terms
• Example– Good: My goal is to do better this semester– Better: I goal is to achieve a 3.5 GPA by Dec. 12, 20XX– Good: My goal is to play harder on the basketball court– Better: My goal is to achieve at least 80% field goal by
Oct. 15, 20XX
