Questions to Ask Yourself
- What motivates me?

How To Get Motivated
- "One step leads to another." When all else fails just take one step at a time.
- Rather than just focusing on the outcome, on whether you will succeed or fail, try to focus on the journey of reaching your goals. The journey itself is just as important as the outcome.
- Encourage yourself with positive peer pressure. If you’re in a group of people who have really high goals for themselves you’ll take on that same sense of seriousness.
- We procrastinate the most when we are in a bad mood. Research shows happiness increases productivity and makes you more successful. Find your 'happy' by focusing on your progress in meaningful work.
