When I was in college my motivation to study came from the fact that I was trying to get into a competitive program so I had to do well. Once I was in that program I had to do well in order to finish said program. Also, I was well aware of the student loan debt I was aquiring. Not doing well meant going into debt for nothing and prolonging my time in school, thus accumulating more debt. My motivation to work hard comes from the obvious- needing money to keep a roof over my head. I also like my job most days so I would like to keep it.

I'm in huge dept to the govt. Being a psycological person. Guilt can truly motivate. My mom gets so guilty but I get the fuck its. It's a cycle of guilt and building Character.
Lot's of mystics explore this but it thrives on neglect. Sorta the danger of progress. Trying to hard can be a real issue that becomes toxic. Fighting through sleep and the day.

Everyone does everything to try to get laid; this is thoroughly backed up by theory and research.
This conversation occurred one hour before sex. Me: "I never heard anyone in this bar say postmodernism before". Her: "I never heard anyone in this bar say social stratification before".
That's why grad school is important.

I find that a good method is to tell myself that my goal is to practice rather than to do an amazing job (although admittedly that would be nice). By focusing on practice and not on the end result, it relieves some of the fear and difficulty involved in doing the task, which often leads me to work hard on it. And when it's done, whether it's good or bad, I tell myself that the important thing is that I practiced.
Whether the outcome is good or not, it's likely that once you start you're going to try to work as hard as you can. So if you just find a way to trick yourself into starting, you can usually do good work, or roughly as good of work as you would have done no matter how you thought about it. And even if the end result sucks, at least you practiced, and the next time you'll do better because you did practice.

The best method I know of is setting small goals. If you need to write a 20-page paper, commit to writing 2 pages. When you do, you get the satisfaction of success, which motivates like nothing else.
