Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I just don’t believe I can do this, and no amount of "you’ve got this" or hyping myself up moves that conviction an inch
- I’m completely unmotivated and I honestly can’t tell whether it’s that deep down I don’t believe I can pull this off, or that I just don’t care about it
- I keep putting this off because deep down I don’t think I can actually pull it off
- I keep avoiding this even though I’m capable of it and I do care, and I can’t explain why
- I genuinely want this and I believe I can do it, yet I still avoid it
Practices that may help
- Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t)
Jacquelynne Eccles’s expectancy-value theory proposes that motivation to pursue a task is jointly determined by two factors: expectancy (your belief that you can succeed) and value (how much you care about success). Both are required — high value with low expectancy produces anxiety and avoidance; high expectancy with low value produces competent indifference. The theory has a substantial empirical base primarily in academic achievement contexts, with reasonable generalisation to broader life domains. - Build expectancy through mastery experiences, not just affirmations
Expectancy — the belief that you can succeed — grows from actual small wins, not self-talk.
Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t) - Diagnose whether you are stuck on expectancy or value
Before trying to motivate yourself, identify which of the two factors is actually low.
Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t) - Raise your expectancy of success before starting
Boost confidence that effort will actually lead to a good outcome — low expectancy is a core driver of delay.
The Procrastination Equation, Made Practical - Socialise your values and expectations to reduce hidden motivation barriers
Others’s expectations and transmitted values shape whether you believe you belong in a domain — making implicit messages explicit clears hidden motivation blocks.
Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t) - Reduce the perceived cost of the task, not just increase its value
High cost — effort, anxiety, or opportunity cost — can cancel even genuinely valued tasks; reducing cost is a motivation lever that is often overlooked.
Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t) - Connect the task to your identity to activate attainment value
Tasks that are relevant to who you are, not just what you want, have a distinct motivational source that is harder to deplete.
Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t) - Clarify outcome expectations alongside efficacy expectations
High confidence in your ability is not enough if you don’t believe the behavior will produce the outcome you want.
Social Cognitive Theory - Know the three conditions that produce overjustification
The effect requires: initial intrinsic interest + expected reward + reward contingent on doing the task.
The Overjustification Effect: When Rewards Kill Motivation - Calibrate expectations for how long novelty will sustain motivation
New projects and environments produce an initial motivational burst that reliably fades — plan for this.
