If say, you just don't feel like working, how do you put your lazy ass to it?

newbreed · 05-26-2004, 02:31 AM

I just start doing stuff. I hate it some times, and I am a huge procrastinator (as is Arika) but once I get into doing the work, I hate to stop. I just keep telling myself it will be a new learning experience or I convince myself to at least try something new and it just starts to happen.

Excellence · 05-26-2004, 02:34 AM

Anthony mother fucking robbins. AMAZING.

EviLGuY · 05-26-2004, 03:01 AM

Just use enough willpower to get yourself started. I find thats the hard part..

Definitely. Don't even think about what you have to do, just open a folder and get started. The next thing you know it will be done and you can fuck around reloading stats all day.

Sounds about right.

I Just Think About The Money.. Normally Works For Me.

B40 · 05-26-2004, 04:44 AM

Hardest part is just getting started. Doing the work is not hard, but doing work instead of doing something else more appealing is. So, like the slogan for Nike, just do it.

TheMob · 05-26-2004, 04:44 AM

i wish someone sold Motivation Pills. my procrastination's gonna kill me one day.

Firehorse · 05-26-2004, 05:15 AM

I am highly self motivated. I focus on my family, my goals, and my dreams!

StRoGE · 05-26-2004, 05:38 AM

Just take it one step at a time. Make the decision to do it, and slowly do it. Once you start you'll find it hard to stop until you've accomplished whatever you wanted to.

acuk · 05-26-2004, 05:40 AM

take a step back. Switch the screen off and write myself a
'to do' list. Then cross off the jobs as i do them through the day.
Yes i know it's lame but it works for me 95% of the time..

Smurfette · 05-26-2004, 05:53 AM

Every day I keep track of the money we make, when I notice that go down a bit we jump into work again, hard now though with the nice weather and seeing how much work has to be done on the house and taking care of 2 small children. Plus have to stay away from reading this board and I get much more done

Smurfette

HowlingWulf · 05-26-2004, 06:27 AM

I look at my stats and cry. I always want more.

Seriously I have a 'to-do' list which I prioritize and work
on during the day. It makes me feel like I accomplished something. It helps.

TheMob · 05-26-2004, 06:42 AM

a todo list is a good idea.. i'll have to start doing that!

plyndrty · 05-26-2004, 06:44 AM

I need to find some motivation. I have been in a slump for months.

rowan · 05-26-2004, 06:47 AM

The first season of "The Apprentice" is currently showing in Australia... I feel really motivated after watching an ep of that. I think it's probably more the business tricks and tips that excite me rather than the lavish lifestyle that Mr. T leads.

Bomber8888 · 05-26-2004, 06:52 AM

I say to myself make when your young and you have the opportunity or once u get older it might pass you by. Once you have a family you can't take the risk no more.

Bomber

DESIREbyDESIGN · 05-26-2004, 07:00 AM

Ask yourself if the task at hand is life giving or life taking. If your answer is the later consider a different way to approach the same task or do something you consider life giving and come back to it.

Ask yourself "What does your big picture look like?"

"What role does you not doing something right now have upon it?"

Life is all about challenge.

cayne · 05-26-2004, 08:35 AM

I take a look at the mirror.

Fabien · 05-26-2004, 08:48 AM

Fletch XXX · 05-26-2004, 10:18 AM

some might not undertand this, but a little herbs and i can zone out in dreamweaver or photoshop, i never really lack motivation unless I am dealing with stressful non work related issues. Just had to go through a death i the family here and that zapped some motivation but as far as day to day work is concerned, I honestly cant say I ever lack the motivation to work. Sure I might feel lazy like some, but i pretty much work 7 days a week and am non stop, I barely sleep, and am usually always doing something work releated unless I am totally away and off line, away from keyboard so to speak. I cant even sit at my computer and not do something work releated... and i have multipler machines here hahah

my motivation comes in the day to day struggle of simply living.

Za Ha · 05-26-2004, 10:19 AM

think about what you want, if you want a huge ass house, take a look at alot of nice expensive homes, same shit with cars, that normally gets me worked up cause there's only one way to get them, and thats $, and ot get the $ you need to work

tony286 · 05-26-2004, 04:25 PM

I look at the stack of bills and the roof over my head it motivates me . lol Seriously I am motivated to work in the summer because I hate the heat, when fall comes I have a hard time its nice and crisp out dont want to stay in the house lol. Its hard when you work at home, thats why next thing of getting a office so we have to go somewhere every day.

I look at sales from a while back and see how bad they were, I then look at sales from the previous 2 months and see how good they are. I want it to stay that way, I wanna make more and more. Usually works for me.
