How do you keep yourself motivated throughout the day?

Question

I know that discipline is pretty significant in achieving goals just as motivation if not more. Still, a dose of motivation always helps.

So tell me. How do you keep yourself motivated throughout the day/week/whatnot?

Understanding the reasons behind my tasks and goals. When I have a clear purpose and meaning for what I am doing, it provides intrinsic motivation to keep going.

I love to take breaks during the day when I really need to. Keeps me hella motivated when I'm feeling down!

Reflecting on what I have accomplished the past week to see how far I've come from the starting point. Keeps me going as long as I know I've made progress daily.

I think there is one vital thing to do. When you get bored or feel like taking a break from work you must do it :)

I break my day into chunks, tackle one task at a time. Quick breaks, some fresh air, music, help too. And yeah, seeing progress with client's productivity app keeps the drive alive.

I try to work hard to make my family live in good conditions and stop the war as soon as possible by doing regular donations.

I conversational journal when I feel at a loss or unmotivated. Getting thoughts out of my head and delving deeper into why I feel this way is refreshing.

Look to the end goal. Focus on what you want to achieve and know it's all for that.

Staying motivated can be a challenge, but it's important for achieving success. Personally, I stay motivated by setting small goals and celebrating each accomplishment. It keeps me focused and energized.

- Keeping my TODO list for the day and tracking the progress
- Blocking some of the time for rest and exercise!

@shushant_lakhyani , I have it in mind. But often forget to do so. Will try making it a habit. :)

@cesarioo , that's really good. Sometimes, I tend to push myself beyond limits - you know, not taking enough breaks and that. In retrospect, I later realized it's not really working me well as I thought it would be. So, I'm just slowly trying to practice doing sprints and breaks. And I already started seeing some results. :)

@ryanmartinez00 , great, I listen to music as well. And fresh air! That's very underrated! I realized it during a scorching summer when I was sitting before my screen for hours. Something I have to start practicing. Thanks for reminding!

@canberk_ars , true that. Gonna take a break soon. 😅

@olearningcurve , def, btw, seems like nowadays, without a TODO list, it's hard to go through the day without getting hurt. Lol.
