'''Motivation enhancement''' can be described as the experience of an increased desire to perform tasks and accomplish goals in a productive manner. It can be best characterized by feelings of an intense desire to perform tasks even if they would usually be considered too monotonous or overwhelming to fully commit one's self to.

This effect will often synergize with other coinciding effects such as [[focus enhancement]], [[thought acceleration]], and [[stimulation]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[stimulant]] or [[nootropic]] compounds such as [[amphetamine]], [[caffeine]], [[ritalin]], and [[modafinil]]. However, it may also occur more inconsistently with many other classes psychoactive substance such as certain [[hallucinogen|hallucinogens]], [[opioid|opioids]] and [[GABAergic|GABAergics]].
A number of factors (which often, but not always, co-occur) reflect or contribute to task motivation: namely, wanting to complete a task, enjoying it or being interested in it.<ref name="Nyholm2015" /> Motivation may also be supported by closely related factors, such as positive mood, alertness, energy, and the absence of anxiety. Although motivation is a state, there are trait-like differences in the motivational states that people typically bring to tasks, just as there are differences in cognitive ability.<ref name="IlievaFarah2013" />
