    How do you get motivated?

    I just took a vacation like 2.5 weeks ago and I'm so completely unmotivated to work, I dunno what to do.

    I have like 50 webpages to finish before I can get my new site going which I am sure is going to make a lot of money (I have to make like 20k in 1.5 months) so I REALLY need to get it done...but I feel so blahhhhhhhhhh....

    How do you guys/girls get motivated when you're feeling burned out?

          But even though I know I must make this money or somewhat close to it...I still can't fucking get into it! I don't even wanna open photoshop...nothing!

          There must be other people this happens to and there must be a way to get back into it with some kind of motivation.

                              The best way Shan is to do one little task that needs to get done and then do two and so on.

                                      So what do you do to make sure you get done what needs to get done?

                                                                  Life should be one big vacation!!

I have to do all my work, then I have to get it all set up for the affiliates, so that they can actually make good money on a phone sex program. So knowing all I have to do and then all the hands I will hold (at least til they get going) is all overwhelming for me. Plus other than going away I have not had much of a break child wise....they usually go to their dads every weekend but that's not been happening. Finally today, they will both be gone at the same time! I love em...but I loveeeeeeeeee the break too!!! =)

                                                                          See at least if I can't get motivated....I would like to be able to grin and bear it...and I guess that's what I shall have to do, but even forcing myself to do that is not gonna be easy lol.

                                                                              Actually this is really true. I just need to find a way to manage my time, people tell me this all the time.

                                                                              I think a problem is when I have a big project I can do like half of it then I get bored and it's like blahhh I don't wanna do it. But this what I have to do now is actually a really big priority so it sucks that I don't wanna do it.

                                                                                  For those who do, how do you discipline yourself to make sure they get done and where do you start in writing this plan?

                                                                                                              For those who do, how do you discipline yourself to make sure they get done and where do you start in writing this plan?
                                                                                                              I keep a daily task list, short term business plan done on a quarterly basis and a long term business plan for the year ahead.

                                                                                                              My daily task list runs on an easy day about 30 items to a long day well over 100 items I have to take care of, follow up on, etc.

                                                                                                              My business plans include budgets, revenue forecasts, sales committments, marketing strategies, capital requirements, expansion plans, etc.

                                                                                                              You have to have a plan. This lets you know where you are going and it keeps your work levels in check so you keep pace with the business objectives.

If I get unmotivated, I take a break... do what I need to do, however long it takes, and them come back fresh. There is a reason we get that way and it's because we need a break.

                                                                                                                  BUT... I always have a "to do" list that seems to be never ending, and I chunk away at it when ever I am working.

                                                                                                                                                      Business plan is written each quarter w/goals expected + future project roll outs, PR stuff, etc.

                                                                                                                                                      Just like money, you have to budget your time and resources to get the maximum return on all investments ( time + money) to see if the $1000 made today took 2 hours or 24 hours to make from the efforts expounded.

                                                                                                                                                      From all this I can forecast where my downtime fits real nicely anymore than just always working for less results.
