what works for me (and it works well):
edit: a pre-requisite for this type of list i should add is having a goal or a series of goals; the absence of which we just end up chasing instant gratification and transient needs.
- having an unrelenting feeling that i need to live up to my potential, otherwise i'm not only disgracing myself but all of humanity
- asking myself, "why am i doing this?" ... a lot (as a way to continuously ensure my actions are moving me toward my goals).
- when given a choice between being productive and not being productive i remind myself to "just do the right thing."
- reminding myself of those who had to bust their asses to achieve greatness and ignoring the proverbial lottery winners (i.e. those who barely had to work for success).
