Hi all! What are your motivational strategies? By this I mean what motivates you to put pen to paper? to go to the lab? or even get out of bed!? I am beginning the process of writing up and can find a million other things to do before sitting down at my computer (INTERNET and posting on forums being one of those million other things). What are your strategies? Thanks, Hillyg x
1) good breakfest 2) something nice to look forward after the work is done (e.g. meeting with friends, dancing, doing nothing) 3) not pluging in Internet before work is done (ohh, this is a very hard one to do:)
But work so often involves the internet... If I'm working at home I find minesweeper a really big distraction, but can't play it on my laptop (too hard on touchpad)
the guilt of not getting out of bed gets me out of bed! Although I got into a bad habit of only managing to get into uni for about 9.30. How bad is that!!!
