I am having trouble figuring out how to accomplish this goal.  — 1 year ago

Any suggestions?? I can list the things I want to do:

exercise
study
clean the house
have a party
get caught up on errands
etc.

but actually getting the motivation to DO them is a different matter. I try and talk myself into action “You’ll be happier when the errand is finished”, but it doesn’t seem to work very well.

So 43ers, how do you motivate yourselves??
