What’s the difference between Motivation and Momentum?

#Motivation answers the question: ’Why am I learning this?’ ‘What makes me yearn for growth?’

It comes from goals, curiosity or the desire to change.

#Momentum answers: ‘How do I keep learning?’

It’s built through action (or volition, in psychology terms), evaluation and a sense of progress.

‘In the journey of learning, Motivation helps you start while Momentum helps you not stop.’ – Amy Tsai, Corpus Learning Facilitator
