How to motivate yourself?

[Klaas Koopman]

Hey All,

been a while since i've posted here, but here goes:

How do you guys motivate yourself? Motivation is my biggest problem as I tend to start a project, and then keep it on the net but don't improve it or even finnish it!

Please help me out!

Motivation is a hard one. Do you set goals and then reward yourself when
you hit them? Sometimes that helps.

Look forward to hearing some other people's ideas.
I'm tired and not feeling very 'motivated' to come
up with creative suggestions right now.

Before you start one of these projects, you have to decide upon a specific goal. Even if it's something simple like "I want to generate 500 to this landing page". Then you have to create your plan of the steps you will take to achieve that goal.

I think the biggest distraction in keeping motivated, is not having a clear path and a clear endpoint for success. If you establish both of these things, unless you are just simply not interested in that specific project, you should have no problem keeping motivated and staying on task!
