Motivation is key to getting stuff done – whether that “stuff” relates to your work, studies, hobbies or simply answering a Whatsapp message. For academics, working on long-term research projects while also teaching courses, that can last years, to hundreds of students, understanding how to boost and sustain motivation in themselves and others is vital for success.

So, today we explore the many factors that influence motivation and ask how educators can use these to keep students engaged throughout their studies. You will hear tips for improving the quality of motivation, for beating procrastination and improving your time management, from:

Ian Taylor, a reader in motivational science at Loughborough University and an associate fellow and chartered psychologist of the British Psychological Society and the author of a new book, published this year, Time Hacks: The Psychology of Time and How to Spend It.
Helena Seli, a professor of clinical education and assistant dean of academic programme development at the USC Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California. She is an expert in educational psychology and co-author, with Myron H. Dembo, of Motivation and Learning Strategies for College Success: A Focus on Self-Regulated Learning.
