Motivations in the Productive Space: Overcoming Mental Fatigue and Cognitive Constraints

This paper discusses motivations in the productive space. Since motivation is an integral part of both organisational and individual productivity, constraints to productivity must be overcome with incentive that inspire and drive people to action. Cognitive fatigue has become a norm in today’s high-paced productivity-driven economy, and so it must be dealt with, in order to overcome constraints to productivity. In this paper, we discuss the role of productive space, and how motivation creates an ambience of productivity that help deal with cognitive constraints which leads to mental fatigue. A philosophical—rather than a pure cognitive or psychological approach has been undertaken to understand the intricate link between productivity, motivation, and cognitive (mental) fatigue.
