Monday Motivation :: I’m ON It!!!
5
Comments
Oh… so close… so close to launching my new project… I don’t need much extra motivation today, I just need more time to get it all done! 
In fact, the only thing I really needed an extra push on today was putting up this post, because I am so dang focused on my work right now.
But not everyone is focused all of the time – sometimes even I have to drag myself to my desk to write 5 words. So hopefully a little Monday Motivation will help with your projects today.
So you may be wondering what the heck is Monday Motivation, anyway?
Step 1 – let us know what you are going to get done today (your to-do list, so to speak).
Step 2 – put it in a comment below or a post on your own site.
Step 3 - let us know what will motivate you to get it done – a reward, consequences, or whatever you need to think that will ensure you do what you say you are going to do. I’ve found that the public announcement and accountability is a particularly great motivator, but throw down consequences if you really need a kick in the pants to get stuff done!
Today before I go to sleep I will:
- I WON’T clean out my inbox of 281 emails. But I WILL go through all of them and answer the most pressing ones. (Please forgive me if you’re waiting on me! )
- Complete two more sections of my project
- Email TextLinkAds about some account stuff
I fear committing to anything else, wanting to make sure I have the time to work on and troubleshoot any details of the work I am already committed to for the day.
Plus, if I don’t get this done by the time I go to bed tonight, I will send a Kiva entrepreneur an additional $200. Now I’m really scared.
So what are you going to get done today?
