How do you motivate yourself to work hard and stop procrastinating?
- Self-motivation: Take responsibility for your motivation. Nothing external will keep you motivated.
- Identify your reasons: Find a higher lever reason to act on your goals every day that must trump your excuses. Example: “I make a video to help people”, “I exercise because I want to live long for my grand-kids”
- Question your procrastinating behavior: Knows your triggers — how, why, and when you feel procrastinating. Be aware of the ego trying to convince you to do the wrong thing.
- Challenge yourself: Challenge yourself to do better every day. Be willing to face present discomfort for long-term rewards.
- Do mental and physical activities: Look after your physical and mental health. Exercise and meditation are a good start.
- Eliminate distractions: Be aware of your bad habits and distractions. Then eliminate or alter them individually.
- Break down your goals: Have a goal and break down into a daily action step you can take to get a little bit closer to it.
