Being self-motivated is actually incredibly difficult. Just ask any PhD student who has hands-off supervisors. Learning to chase your own goals independently is a skill you have to cultivate. You need to learn your weaknesses, what tricks you can employ to get working, and what you actually care about enough to achieve.
- arvinsim 7y agoYup. You can get all the time you want, buy all the equipment you need and even then, you sometimes feel like just watching Youtube.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoDo you think there's demand for a motivation as a service non-profit?
- ImaCake 7y agoHmmm there is a market for self-motivation advice to PhD students but they aren't exactly a wealthy audience, and atleast some of it is purchased by education institutions rather than individuals. Beyond that, there are plenty of motivation oriented smart phone apps and etc. And there is 80,000 hours who sometimes take that as their purview. https://80000hours.org/ https://80000hours.org/
