Need Motivation to Get Something Done?
Helpful Tip for the day.....
If you're having a hard time getting the motivation to do something you need to do - walk so many days a week, read in your Bible everyday, do an around-the-house project, or whatever - try the brainstorm I had yesterday on my flight back: put some money on it.
I'm having a heck of a time getting my butt in bed by 11:30 every night, and then getting up by 7:30 on weekday mornings. I know my life would be so much better if I could do this, but when Night rolls around, I'm like a little kid fighting to stay awake, and when Morning comes knocking, I'm like a bear hibernating in the dead of Winter. So, I'm going to post a $100 bill up in house, and if anyone catches me up goofing around past my bedtime, or still sleeping past my wakeup time, then the money is theirs, no arguments. I may even go a step further and say that if the money still hasn't been claimed by the end of a month or two, I get it back to treat myself somehow - a combination of negative and positive reinforcement.
The moral is if you need to do something, get some accountability to others and find a motivator that works for you.
