Are you easily motivated and driven? Do you like to challenge yourself when it comes to exercise, education and other day to day things that you have on your list to do?
I have to admit, I find it hard sometimes to be motivated to do things, so i've been thinking a little about what get's me motivated. I am a huge procrastinator in some area's of my life and then i'm a planner in other areas. When it comes to connecting with people and helping others I can usually get my act together. But when it just comes down to me i'm a procrastinator. I need the push. I will put off exercise, dieting, cleaning, laundry, bills, even house hunting (we have no place to live in NZ yet).... I don't like to worry about things earlier than I absolutely have to, and I find that I am one of those people that if I have a busy day or week I can get a lot accomplished. The more I have to do in one week the more I will get the other things done that i've put off. I need the pressure and the deadline. Anyone else like that? And how do you get the motivation you need if you need to get things going?
For you people, like Darryl, who are easily motivated and like to challenge themselves, what's the driving force behind that self motivation? Do you need lists and just love the sense of accomplishment when you cross things off? Is it the ways or culture you were raised in, are you OCD :)?
How do you get motivated each day?
Do you have something you listen to in the morning,
Do you exercise in the morning?
Do you take quiet time to do devotions, or journal...
or is it just plain caffeine??
I'm curious

Hey Heather, found your blog, so cool.
My blog is all about this same topic of goals and getting them done. I'm LAZY and hate to do anything that requires work, but running businesses, being self employed and having people depend on me makes it hard. So how do I stay ahead ... by writing it down! I just write down my list of things in front of me everyday, and keep them there until they are done. I also evaluate which things are important and which are just "busy", if it's not important then I drop it. The biggest thing is thinking about the people that depend on those things getting done.
My blog is fosterat.blogspot.com
