HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE YOURSELF

**LmT** · 01-17-2008, 08:54 AM

I found a hobby which will be my career in about 4-5 years--programming. Blogging and gaming also helps fight laziness.

Why fight it?

Keep a picture of what you are working towards for motivation.

a 4-pack of redbull!

positive thinking...think of the reason why you're doing something.
ex if what you're doing is for a family member, think of how he/she will be happy seeing the result

**Iwantyou** · 01-17-2008, 12:06 PM

yes caffine... lots of it.

Procrastination (sometimes also called laziness) can be a sign that you're doing something for the wrong reasons. If you love doing something, you just so it. You don't need to make excuses, coping mechanisms, or fool yourself into doing them. You just do them. Maybe you aren't doing something you love doing?

Experiment. Find something that you just can't stop doing. Your laziness will evaporate.

Fight it with another laziness- sounds stupid right? Well for me chatting with friends make me occupied and keeps me awake in a day

**abuzz** · 01-17-2008, 04:04 PM

Yeah! Like one poster said Red Bull.

**fbuenanry** · 01-18-2008, 06:55 AM

think of something or consequences if laziness strikes you.. or better, the pay of not being lazy, just to motivate you.

**Sevenheartz** · 01-18-2008, 08:14 AM

Thinking positive sounds good to me. Music always helps, too.

**lukedahel** · 01-18-2008, 09:21 AM

I have a lot of experience with this. For some people (like me) thinking positive does nothing, if your brain is not wired in this way.

In this case think of the negatives. Think of where you will be in 1 month and 1 year if you continue on your road of lazyness and failure. Imagine in extreme detail your worst enemy on a yacht with a supermodel, drinking a tequila sunrise, while you rot in a ball of inactivity.

**smashhappy** · 01-30-2008, 12:40 AM

Just force yourself to do 1

**EuroVPS** · 01-31-2008, 10:50 PM

Ten pushups seems to do the trick.

Gets the blood pumping.

I list out the works to be done in a paper and paste it in front of my chair. So whenever I look at the paper I am constantly reminded about the pending work. In this way, I can able to complete most of the work within the deadline. That's the secret of my success

**andrei155** · 02-01-2008, 12:03 PM

Think of the Consequences. If something MUST be done, there shall be consequences if, in fact, it is not. For example: Exam Tommorow; study, or fail.

The obvious consequence in that would be the failure, however if that really doesn't peak your interest, why not dig deeper? Example: If you fail, your dad takes out the ugly stick.

**Kelly Anderson** · 02-04-2008, 03:45 AM

Find sth that makes you happy! Anything!

For example: dancing, chating and drinking coffe with friends, shoping (naturally, I'm a girl)...

When I'm happy, I'm more motivated to do anything. Even at work or in a gym ;-).

And when you do or finish some work, you're geting even more motivated for work!

Wish you all luck with your projects!

**highanddry** · 02-04-2008, 11:59 AM

It's either smoke less pot or smoke more pot.. I cannot recall which one.

**Cryxellis** · 02-07-2008, 06:41 AM

If I'm in a work and there are task that really needed to be done.
I will go to the pantry drink water, then go to the cr and jump.
Then after that I will tell to myself we must finish this we have
dues.
