Motivation enhancement is an increased desire to perform tasks and accomplish goals in a productive manner.[1][2][3] This includes tasks and goals that would normally be considered too monotonous or overwhelming to fully commit oneself to.

Motivation enhancement is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as stimulation and thought acceleration in a manner which further increases one's productivity. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of stimulant and nootropic compounds, such as amphetamine,[4] methylphenidate,[2] Noopept, and modafinil. However, it may also occur to a much lesser extent under the influence of certain opioids, and GABAergic depressants.
