When we are honest with ourselves, we recognize that certain tasks get our full attention, and some receive a small fraction of our potential.

Call it what you will, procrastination or "half-assing" something, we all know when our internal engines fire to produce something of value.

What is our motivation to succeed, and where does this energy come from? Simple put, or internal motivational engine is intrinsic motivation.

Extrinsic motivation comes in the form of money, prestige and fame for the external reward's sake. When we are internally motivated, we perform much more because we enjoy the process.

The long road to the goal is a grind. Look to do work that you enjoy from start to finish.
