I think learning about motivation is extremely important. I’ve realised that maintaining motivation is something that has to happen every day or you just flounder and achieve nothing.

I’ve recently been listening to Tony Robbins and find his programs great. NLP is a great framework for understanding, and I find it helps me understand why I do and don’t do various things.

It’s funny, but something just playing the part (that is, acting motivated) can actually motivate you. For example, I never used to be an early morning riser, but I made it a game to pull the silliest grin and leap out of bed as soon as my alarm goes off. Strangely, it made the day better, and I’m now up at 6am every morning.

Great article as always. I relate to your comment about being interested in fitness but that doesn’t mean you want to hit the treadmill every day. I have a ton of interests, but I lack motivation to actually do anything. Doesn’t it boil down to lack of purpose? Don’t you need purpose first in order to get motivated? (once Maslow’s needs have been met of course)

Nice twist on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs there! It describes it beautifully and applies it well. Good one Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow’s_hierarchy_of_needs if nothing else, this posts shows how you can find information about anything, reflect on it, and get writing.

Court, great post. I agree with Joe, family can be a big motivator. I pop out of bed pretty quick when when I think about mortgage, bills and college tuition. Oh, what happened to those lazy days when I was single!

15 hours/wk? What job was this and how much was your rent? It also helps if you have children. Providing for someone other than yourself will scare ya ta death.

Great post!

There is a great saying of a famous Japanese martial artist that can stick to your article: “If you do not overcome your tendencies to give up easily, your life leads to nothing…”

Thanks for sharing your thoughts so often here at TKA.

I too have trouble getting motivated. Researching and writing just seems like work to me. But, I too don’t want to work for the MAN, and that is my notivation. I know that if I get lots of content created, I will make money. It’s just getting it done!
I just decide I’m going to just write, and then try not to even check stats or any thing (I’m a stas junkie)and just spend my time writing.
I think you hit the nail on the head, you just need to find out what motivates YOU the best, and then use that knowledge to get motivated, get the work done, and you’ll be successful!
Thanks for the enlightening post, and the kick in the ass!
