What Do You Do To Get Yourself Motivated

Since it is Monday... what do you do to motivate yourself to do things that you absolutely do not feel like doing but need to or should do?
What are some things you really have to motivate yourself to do at home or at work?
For me sometimes I play music or turn on HGTV to get in the mood for doing certain things. Sometimes I have to really talk myself into it.
Sometimes I make rewards for myself like telling myself after I do this thing, I can relax and do computer time etc.

Hi Sweet Laurie!~~~

what do you do to motivate yourself to do things that you absolutely do not feel like doing but need to or should do?

I do nothing...Really.. I just either don't do it or I wait til the motivation does happen..Haaaaaaa.. What did I just say?..
Going to work even though once in awhile I don't want to ..well going always gets me rolling..at least at work LOL.. Sometimes it spills over into other things after or between jobs..

What are some things you really have to motivate yourself to do at home or at work?

I have to motivate myself to organize.. To clean out closets.. To clean out this clutter.. To exercise....But It doesn't happen til it wants to Haaaa.. Motivation for me comes in waves and when they subside I go down down down til the next wave comes.. Today I was riding a wave and got a lot done.. I am hopeing tomorrow is another wave day but I can never tell...I went to work.. Cleaned out some clutter here at the house.. Vaccumed the car and washed it by hand at one of those do it yourself places.. I came home and made supper and also went toa

I can see how fear can be a motivator in many things.
You seem to be driven towards success even without the fear.
Keep up the good work Lesli.

I am still impressed with you and your running.

Hello to your sweet self cat.
I think you did alot today. I am exhausted just reading about it, lol.
I think I get less motivated since I don't work, but Sheila motivates me pretty much when I need it.
I hope things are going well with you and ~S~.
Hugs,
Laurie
