Experiencing peak motivation

Think about when you have been the most motivated

It was probably not when everything was easy

It probably was when things were just difficult enough for you to engage your intellect to the edge, when the time constraint was tight, but not too tight, and when you just managed to get it done to a level that was slightly above passable or better.

If you are not motivated by what you are doing, it is either too easy (and you are bored) or too hard (and you are stressed).
