Nicky Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 9 hours ago, dadmonson said: Yeah, you're perfect Nicky you never procrastinate. Actually, I procrastinate all the time. But I find that having a job makes it a lot easier to avoid procrastinating...since there's a lot of pressure to get things done, with immediate negative consequences when you don't. Hence my tip. How you read into that that I'm perfect, is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadmonson Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) I think a lot about motivation. Is it possible to have constant motivation? Theoretically, if everyday you find a different motivational video, reading, or quote that resonates with your soul, you should be motivated everyday? I haven't tried this myself. I imagine it'll just get harder and harder to become motivated by such things but I don't know for sure.

softwareNerd Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) An occasional motivation video or reading might help pep you up. it does not even have to be specifically about motivation. It could be an inspiring biography or novel. However, all such things are not the meat and potatoes of motivation: that has to come from "real life". Something like a video or book might shake me from lethargy and make me commit to doing something: say, approaching my job in a different way, or looking for a new job. The true motivation (in that case) would have to come from the job itself. Added: If the bulk of one's input is motivational stuff with almost no real motivational input via "real life", I guess it would be counter-productive and depressing. The motivational stuff will end up as a reminder that others seem to have all this motivation, and you do not.
