About Your Work
No one else is forcing you to do your work. You've decided to
take it on. Don't waste your energy in hostility toward others.
Accept and live with your own decisions.
Start early. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be free
to do other activities, the less worry you'll experience, the
more time you'll have to recover from mistakes and wrong directions.
Expect a certain amount of tension. Use that tension as energy
to get yourself moving.
Different people have different styles of working. For example,
some people need competition to do their best, while others work
better at their own pace. Respect your work style and arrange
the conditions you need to do well.
If you have a long, hard task, make it as comfortable for you
as possible. Do it in short bits (but stay with it), do it wearing
comfortable clothes, among friends, in familiar surroundings,
with whatever you need to keep your spirits up while you work
at it.
Pure, unadulterated motivation is rare (most of the time); you
just have to keep plugging away.
If necessary, pause every now and then to remind yourself why
you have chosen to take on certain work, what you expect to get
out of it. Give yourself a pep talk.
When you've done something you feel good about, reward yourself
with a treat: you deserve it!
Completed tasks keep interest and motivation at a higher level.
Try to complete a task, accomplish a sub-goal, before you quit
for the day.
