One the hardest thing I have to deal with everyday is to keep waking up early every morning and be energized and pumped for the day of work ahead. Working on my own projects and being able to manage my own time is a great gift, but it also comes with great responsibility – if I don’t get things done, no one is going to chase my tail and scream at me. Working on what I love is a great way to keep myself motivated, but the power of the constant pressure of running out of money and facing the unknown future can not be ignored. I found myself needing an extra shot of motivation every now and then when I feel lost. Here are some of the things that worked for me, and I hope they will continue working!
Images of what I want in the future. I keep a folder on my computer of images of what I want the future to look like. And then I set them as my desktop wallpaper to remind myself why I working so hard on these projects. My current desktop wallpaper.
