What are some good ways to motivate yourself to do things?
I've been having a hard time with motivation lately. I'd appreciate any advice you have on getting yourself interested and involved in what you're doing.

Kira Budge Do you have any ideas how? It's not like I have money to spend on myself, and rewarding myself with food would just make me unhealthy. I already love food too much haha. -

Hire a hit man to kill you if you don't get it done. Seriously though, what sort of "things" are you trying to do? Sometimes making it a competition is motivating sometimes asking others to join you makes it more fun. Rewards may work. Deprivation might be motivating as well. Tell yourself you can't have ___________ until its done. I could probably give better suggestions if I had more specifics.

I schedule my day in advance if there is something I know I have to get done but don't want to do. I will not turn on the tv or my computer or do anything that may otherwise easily distract me. I always follow my schedule to a "T", and reward myself afterward with something yummy - for me lately, I have been way into cashews, so I rewarded myself with an oz of roasted, unsalted cashews. I know, cashews are boring...well, not to me... but you get my drift...
