how do you motivate yourself to get done what you need to? (especially if it's uninteresting)
I don't tend to motivate myself. I prefer to refocus motivation that already exists.
thanks. you're so helpful.
I'm either too smart or too dumb to trick myself into thinking that way.
I get motivated by screaming fuck a lot and panicking until the deadline comes closer. Then I kick into hyper mode and get shit done.
This sums up my strategy. I currently have a deadline on tuesday, the following friday, and some others after that. Sometimes this works and I get the work done, and other times I'm paralysed into fear of performance failure, or "Shit, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing and it's due in tomorrow faaaaack. Why didn't I at least read the assessment criteria?"
Yup. Panic-induced adrenaline is about the only thing that will kick my ass into gear.I'm either too smart or too dumb to trick myself into thinking that way.
