I've personally spent a lot of time examining my own motivation. I built a project called Deep Thought https://www.deepthoughtapp.com/en/keywords/motivation/ https://www.deepthoughtapp.com/en/keywords/motivation/
I have several techniques:
- Be kind to yourself
- Be comfortable with not finishing everything you need to do today
- Break down large tasks into smaller tasks
- I break down the small tasks using https://asana.com/ https://asana.com/
- Complete smaller tasks to gain motivation/momentum
- I try to use other smaller tasks (not related to the project) to build momentum
- Break up my day into time slices
- Gym for 1 hour
- Work for 1-2 hours
- Lunch for 1 hour
- Work for 1-2 hours
- Some other activity for 1 hour
- I use my Apple Watch timer to trigger me to move along
- You can use a time tracking of sorts. I've been trying https://clockify.me/ https://clockify.me/
- I use tags to indicate what I'm doing:
- Relax
- Play
- Planning
- Research
- Programming
- I set in my calendar times for
- Breakfast
- Reflection
- Work
- Gym
- Social
- chillwaves 8y agoThe way you structure matches my weaknesses nicely (such as use momentum from smaller tasks), thanks for sharing.
