The website Skillsyouneed.com indicates:
:"In thinking about self-motivation, it is helpful to understand what motivates you to do things.
:There are two main types of motivators: ‘intrinsic’ and ‘extrinsic’.
:In their simplest form you can think about these two types of motivation as:
:'''Intrinsic''' = related to what we want to do.
:'''Extrinsic''' = related to what we have to do.
:A more detailed definition is:
:Intrinsic: To perform an action or task based on the expected or perceived satisfaction of performing the action or task. Intrinsic motivators include having fun, being interested and personal challenge.
:Extrinsic: To perform an action or task in order to attain some sort of external reward, including money, power and good marks or grades.
:Different people are motivated by different things and at different times in their lives. The same task may have more intrinsic motivators at certain times and more extrinsic motivators at others, and most tasks have a combination of the two types of motivation.<ref>[https://www.skillsyouneed.com/ps/self-motivation.html Self-Motivation]</ref>
