Motivation

Different things motivate different people. You would think after 20 years of life, I would have figured out how to motivate myself to do different things. However, I have not and I find myself constantly looking for ways to motivate myself. I try to motivate myself in the morning to wake up thinking, if I get ready for the day I might see a cute guy, or if I study for my test I will get a good grade.

Maybe I can’t motivate myself to do things, because of the procrastinator deep down inside of me. I always know that I will get it done and that I will do a good job, I just won’t start working on it until the last second. As I am in my last semester of my undergraduate I wonder if I should try to change now. I mean it has worked for the last two years of college, why would it stop working my last semester.

It is almost as if I can only work if I know it has to be done now. If I know that I can work on it tomorrow or the next day the likely hood of me waiting is very high. That is why I love deadlines. Because I know if there is a deadline it will be done no problem. Deadlines are the solutions to all my problems. In order to motivate myself I just give myself a deadline, before the actual deadline.
