How I did it: Not quite sure how I did this - it literally came out on nowhere, but I can say for certain that I am motivated today.  I've been drifting aimlessly for awhile and haven't paid any attention to my goals and haven't made progress since July of '08.

What helped most:
* Deciding which goals were most important to me - writing down what I wanted to accomplish by the end of this year.
* I quit drinking every night, which gave me more time, especially to reflect on my life and values.

Lessons & tips: Realise you will not live forever, and that there's no guarantee you will see tomorrow.  What will you regret not doing?

Think about what you value, which helps you pin down what is truly most important and your life goals.  Maybe it's making tons of money; being famous; having a huge family; being happy; etc.  Take a moment to reflect on these things as they are _intrinsically_ motivating.
