    are you good at motivating yourself to do things? Making them interesting or do you do things because of duty and obligation?



    I've been really terrible at motivating myself this term. Even now I'm contemplating skipping my classes for the day because I feel so tired (and the second one is easy peasy to catch up on). I've felt under the weather for so long, it's ridiculous

    I am good at motivating others but I am not easily motivated but I do get things done. I really get things done when it is crunch time.

    I feel the same way as you this term. I just have no desire to get up and go to class and so I skip all the time and then feel guilty, but not guilty enough to go to class next time.

    I think I'm this way because I am so close to graduation, but still too far away and so I just want to get it all over with because after 16 straight years of going to school, I am ready to move on.

    no not really.... I put off going to the store until it is absolutly necessary. Granted some days I am all gun-ho motivated and get a lot done. But that's a rarity

    I've got a good work ethic, but if you start falling into a slump it is a bit hard to pull yourself out of it.

    I motivate myself...when I have to. The rest of the time I just get it done, when I have to get it done, usually at last minute. If it's something I have no interest in... I won't motivate myself, but if I am interested I will.

    It's just a matter of finding a reason to be interested.

    I've been like that this term as well. :& Well, not feeling under the weather bit (sorry to hear that you're feeling like that :( ) but just.. I've been lazy. I'm so glad I got all my essays done and the term just ended.

    I am so unmotivated but somehow I did pretty well on my spanish midterm...we got it back today so I am okay in all my classes. Looks like I will graduate this May finally...it's scary. It's funny I think I deliberatley failed this class over and over again out of fear of moving on. I was not accepted into the MS program at my current school so I have to go to a different school for grad school that's not as nice and I'm really bummed about that ): I will miss my school A LOT

    I wish I was better at motivating myself. I'm horrible at telling myself that I need to get off of the computer and study. Haha. I can only seem to study really well if others are studying with me. Other than that, the motivation is seriously lacking. [​IMG]

    i can motivate myself when needed. but this term at school, i dunno, i don't have motivation to do well in my classes like i did last semester. i'll be motivated when i get back to school, i have a person + other events to look forward to in the near future...

    This has been such a problem for me this past year or so...I know that i MUST work if i want to make my move abroad a successful one, but i just sit down ready to begin and ill start daydreaming:( Its really, really difficult to control...Ive hardly attended college this year, i lie in bed for hours just thinking and dreaming...
    Its getting to a point now where ive simply got no option but to work, so im really forcing myself. But my God, considering i want to succeed so badly, its bizarre how difficult it is to concentrate and get the work done

    Xx
