PODCAST EP: But I Don’t Want to…! (how to increase motivation for singing practice)

She emphasises the importance of avoiding negative motivators and suggests setting deadlines, creating accountability, and using rewards as effective external motivators.
Additionally, she discusses the benefits of novelty and curiosity in enhancing internal motivation.
Tessa also highlights the value of documenting progress and incorporating varied practice activities, including enjoyable forms like singing in a choir or taking breaks.
