How do you motivate yourself to acheive or even complete not only goals but everyday tasks?
I sometimes just end up spending half the day, day-dreaming and the other half planning what i'm going to do but never actually doing it.
Any tips or suggestions, everybody can benefit.

Great question!
-
If you were a man, I'd say "get a wife",
she would push you ALL DAY LONG,
but you're not, and, in that case,
I don't know what to tell you...
:P
-
The mortgage, car payment, insurance payments, utilities, groceries, saving for post secondary education for the kid, very expensive hockey etc.....motivates me to get to work lol
Other things, I just KNOW I have to do them and if I dont they wont get done, so I do them ;)

mmmmmmm.....I am a very serious person, and hard work is in Boer blood, and therefore, combining my values and genetics together, I do it. Besides, if i don't do it, who's going to do it? Also, if i don't, eventually i might end up a useless bum

I am myself very (some would say too much) serious.
I am about to open my own company
of decorative objects, for instance,
which I combine with caricatures drawing,
and, when I am called, book-illustrations...
Whenever I have
some job to do,
I do it "to the bone".

Sometimes its hard Sarah , but like Kelly I have living exspenses I have to meet, and once you are the one with the responsibly you just do it.
Many a day I would love to lay in bed, or vege out on the chair, close the door and forget the world..... oh boy yess........ :) When someone bashes down your day dream and you have tasks to do.
The world never stands still, nor should you, a life time is a very short blink of Histories Eye, make the most of it.

I think of the future, and how im going to get therel

Exactly, plenty of mornings especially when there is 3 feet of snow to shovel off the driveway before i can even get out and its 10 below Id love to pull the covers back over my head and go back to sleep...but when you are the sole person responsible for everything you just do it.

You know Kelly only once in my life I was woken up and handed a cup of coffee and told you stay there....
That was when I had my knee reconstructed, only lasted one day :::D

I do not know,sometime I do Aikido at 5 am few times a week.But were i
live most of the time is nothing to realy push for.Very easy going life in a way.
I am never stres,but If I have problem,and a lots of problems,I am very
motivated and solve them fast,all energy.
I feel we all need problems to move to grow,to became smart,kind,to learn a lot.
Problems make person alive,that energy waiting to move.

Other things, I just KNOW I have to do them and if I dont they wont get done, so I do them ;)
Thats probably why I don't get on and do things quickly......I don't have to pay for everything. Though i'm in debt myself, if i want to do an extra class at school I have to pay for it, if i leave a book at home i've got to pay for it. If I don't pay for it on time, I have to pay for being late as well...my cheapskate school. Nothing is free. :)
Thinking of the future, does work...thanks everyone.

I find it hard to get motivated...............
So I'm moving to NYC, putting boot pollish on my face and getting EVERYTHING in life curtesy of affirmative action! ;)

It will all sort itself out for you Sarah!
My dad gave me some great advice when I was a teenager- Be financially independent.
That has worked out great for me, I never rely on anyone else, only myself, I can always count on myself ;)
Youre a smart girl, you can go pretty far in life.
-
Thanks, that is good advice. I should plan...for the very very very near future to be more independent. :)

You can speak french.............. maybe Bullcat will let you live at her place as a french au pair girl (that'll impress the other soccer moms no end!). ;)

In a few yrs you'll probably go to college ,your parents call you into the living room and say,Sarah we are a bit low on money you'll have to work your way through college working as nanny :o :o

I push myself by thinking about what will happen when I'll get older if I won't learn well. My parents help me a lot and they push me and encourage me.

I'll put it in banking terminology...................
I'm cool about the initial 'deposit'................it's the 18 years & 9 months to maturity that puts me off that idea. ;)
