Curiosity: How to Get and Stay Motivated

A lot of people today are wondering how come some people can do more and better things than them, what kind of sorcery they do to stay motivated and inspired by getting things done.

I, as a student who's aiming for a really high mountain, also needs to manage my time properly and well balanced. Procrastinating is a bad friend of mine, staying away from it is so simple but difficult though. However, once you know this trick, you'll be more productive!

Get things started! 

Some of you might have journal or to do list but remaining as papers and no results. It's because, you know what things you need to do but don't know how to start or not motivated to do it. For example, waking up in the morning, you know i your mind that you have loads of work to do and need to wake up now but choosing to sleep for more minutes that will turn into hours. 

In order to achieve something start waking up earlier than you do. Don't think of the things you need to do in the morning because this will decrease your motivation to do it! Break your to do list into simple stuffs. 

According to Newton's First Law of Motion could also be Newton's Law of Productivity. 

An object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. (i.e. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest.)

So, once you've started it, it is much easier to continue going on! Motivation is often the result of action, not the cause of it. Getting started, even in very small ways, is a form of active inspiration that naturally produces momentum. Once a task has begun, it is easier to continue moving it forward.

Stop waiting for motivation and inspiration to come to you, they will never come! This is the difference between professionals and amateurs. Professionals make schedules and stick to it rather than doing things when motivation only strikes. Are you a professional or an amateur? 

How to stay motivated?

Create a ritual! A simple routine you can do for 5 minutes can lead you to your goals! For example, going for an exercise, start by washing your face and putting on your shoes. Once these simple things are done, things will be easier to do and continue towards it rather than laying in bed and complain about the whole day.

Motivation is often the result, not the cause. You'll get motivated by the results you had and get the habit of doing it for more results! So you cant get motivated by doing NOTHING!

If you can do it for 2-5 minutes, then do it NOW! Don't wait for tomorrow or later.
