I guess everyone of you know the situation when you have to do something, but for some reason you can't motivate yourself. You spend hours and hours browsing websites like an idiot, watch tv, play games, just do nothing that gonna help you to accomplish your goals. Beside that you may also feel tired and just want to do nothing.
Hmmm, i know where your coming from mate. Sometimes it just seems that nothing will get you going, and it can be tough sat in front of a computer for hours and hours or with your head burried in a book of technical geekery!
I normally find a couple of different ways work best for me, but it probably is different for everyone. First thing is to break work up with somthing different. When i hit that point where im staring at the computer screen and my mind is just drifting i know its time to take a break, a ten minute walk around the block and a cuppa coffee does the trick. Plus varying the work makes a huge difference - most of all its down to doing the things that really interest you - its easiest to work when you feel really interested in what your doing, so i guess i would say concentrate on what really interests and excites you, and avoid the rest of it unless its a stepping stone to do more of what you enjoy!!
That and like spanke said, appreciate the goals, and each step to make towards them.
I used to have exactly the same problem your talking about but i have found now the situation has become such that i simply don't have time for games etc, despite now because of my work having the money for the ability to appreciate them in their fullest (just put 8 more gigs of ram in the mac pro the other week
)
im blathering on though, just waiting for the video to finish digitising
In such situations sometimes music or movies gonna help me, but often too late in the evening. So when I go to bed I'm full of young ambition and plans but the next day when I wake up all my intentions to work harder on myself and/or projects are gone.
What do you do to get back on track and satisfy your ambitions? How do you motivate yourself?
