I literally use deadlines as my motivation... Any tips? VIDEO
miniturtle has a good tip! I'm just going to add in the thinking process that goes with it.
Okay, so getting down to it, big deadlines aren't a
positive motivation. They're anxiety-inducing and they smell bad. You have to focus on the positive aspect of whatever you're studying for or completing - think of how you'll feel when it's done forever. Tick the little boxes each day. Think of what you could do with any spare time if you complete an assignment. Think of the feelings of self-satisfaction and achievement that come with hard work. I look at it all from this angle: there's always,
always , someone who's going through worse than you, or is less motivated than you, or understands much less than you do. And yet they still get through. There's no excuses not to do the work. So JUST DO IT. (or, better idea, you could pay me to shout motivational quotes at you :) )
And hey, I bumped this thread for a reason! Take a look through some of Brendingle's good ol' resources on the front page - that's where I stole Mulan from haha. Then get out there and be the man (or woman, because *girl power*) and get shit done <3
(or just do the bare necessities, man I'm right into the Disney hole now)
