Title: Motivation
Post by: WingedZephyr on November 19, 2009, 05:13:37 AM

I'll keep this short. I often get a lot of work in my classes and such, and even though I always manage to finish what I need to get done, I feel like I should be more efficient in how I work. So, my question is this: How do you motivate yourself to do the things you need to do?

In order to motivate myself, i wont let myself have something that i like if i dont accomplish something first. As im sure you already know, the afor mentioned item is the pomegranates that i love so much. This type of reward system works great for my job at the animal shelter. Its a wonderful job, but there is an insane amount of paper work involved. In order to motivate myself, i just think of the delicious fruit. Perhaps you could try some type of reward sytem for your self. hope this helps, it helps me alot! Long days and pleasant nights.

one person eats cheese and only cheese... (his publishers give him vitamin suppliments so he wont die.)
another wakes up at like 4am and works until the day begins in earnest.
another has lots and lots of projects that he jumps around on in order to put off the others... this one is me.

frankly, I dont know... and this is a useless post, but i find my method effective, generally, since I have so many things happening at once, I'm always interested in atleast 3 at any one time.

Well I find it's best to have some sort of entertainment before and after work so you don't get bored, personally I just play videogames and talk to people on thefurryforum, that's my treat for doing my work.

I think of the rewards I'll get, whether in the near future or closer.

I had this kind of trouble earlier this year, I used to think 'I'm motivated by other people wanting me to do well' but then suddenly I felt as though no one really cared so it kind of went out of the window! I decided that what motivates me now is to do better than everyone because I am a fairly competitive person I suppose!
