Motivation

Why isn't motivation a 4 letter word? Sometimes I feel like it is. It's so hard to come by, and the fact that I have none just makes me mad. I mean, how hard is it to be motivated enough to do [fill in the blank], right? (I say fill in the blank because we all have our personal procrastination habits.) And, because it's the new year and because I have goals that I wanna work on and because I even printed out a daily checklist to try to be better... I'm hoping motivation will stop hiding from me. But I know I'm not the only one with an abundance of procrastination and a dry well where motivation should be. So here's my thought. Why don't you tell me what you do to motivate yourself, then you can look at all the comments, and maybe if we all share a secret, we'll all help each other be motivated to do that one thing that we just can't seem to do? (Or in my case, the many things I can't seem to do. Whatever.)
