Yes, I agree with that, too. Writing generally takes more specialized focus and requires that creative inspiration that can be very difficult to artificially stimulate. I think it helps to just force yourself to write something every day at the same time. Find a place where you build that habit to get writing and just write something. Keeping a journal can be a useful way to exercise those muscles as well. I'm sure I've written a post or two on this back in the day. I'll try to dig up a couple of links that you mind find useful.

Blasting the music or opening MTV helps when you're doing simple stuff. But what about writing, where you needed intense concentration and focus...that's a struggle for me too. Any tips friends? I'm sure a lot of bloggers here would appreciate your comments. It is the not-so-fun stuff that’s difficult to start doing. Blasting the music or opening MTV helps when you’re doing simple stuff.

If you can't find something enjoyable about what you are spending a lot of effort on then it's almost impossible to sustain that necessary motivation. I think it's key for us to continually try new approaches to keep things fresh. Thanks for your comment and I really like your blog! Hi Ajith,

Those are great ideas. If you can’t find something enjoyable about what you are spending a lot of effort on then it’s almost impossible to sustain that necessary motivation. I think it’s key for us to continually try new approaches to keep things fresh.

If you do the stuff that you enjoy/like the most, you will be naturally motivated :) Having said that, there are times when you get bored. All the points you mentioned will help in such situations. What I also do is to set short term goals, trying different ways of doing the same thing, take a break etc. Motivation is directly proportional to the gain that you derive out of the particular work/task.

It should probably come as no surprise, though, as we so often hear people make offhand remarks about all those things they should do or should have done in the past. Even if many of these wishes are pie in the sky, I'm sure there is a significant number that could be accomplished if the person had just been motivated enough! Thanks for your comment!

I work long hours and so does my husband, we both work for a drug rehab and I like my home to look nice but, I can't seem to get motivated unless I have an outside reason to do things like guest s coming over. I wish I was as energetic as I was in my twenties. I’m so glad I’m not the only one with this problem.

To answer your question, no, I don't think it's as easy as writing it or saying it. It takes real effort to motivate yourself to move toward important goals, especially in a modern world so full of distractions. This is the challenge, though. Thanks for your comment!
