Get Your Motor Running

From Get Organized Now - Special Edition (January 1, 2013)

 
Even those of us who are self-motivated with most things,
may procrastinate on things that don't necessarily come easy.
We all need a little push sometimes.



 
Whether it's a word of encouragement from a friend, a friendly reminder from a parent, a gentle nudge from a spouse, or advice from a total stranger,
those little outside 'pushes' often help to get our motors running.
Whenever possible, designate a person (or two) as your own personal Motivational Coach.
If something needs to be done, ask this person to tap you on the shoulder from time to time to ask if it's being worked on. This may be the little push you need to get started.
Another option is designating some-THING as your Personal Motivator...
like a reward you can enjoy pending the completion of the project at hand.
Yes, it's good to be self-motivated.
But,
accept those little outside pushes from time to time.
They're great for helping us get more done than we would have done alone.
