Since I never forget to pay Rogers, Visa, etc. Or in the case of the gym you are paying to use the facilities so why not use them. It makes in cheaper in the long run. Or treat yourself like a small child and reward yourself with treats if you get something done earlier. I always find a financial penalty increases motivation.

I sometimes get these awesome ideas that take me so long to put into practice, and then when I actually do I love them. But in that space from idea to practice I honestly think I have a hate relationship with most of them XD Oh boy, touchy subject here.

At least, that's what it took for me. There's probably an easier way. . . Also, if you ignore important stuff, the little one's going to starve, or freeze to death, or be eaten by wolves: great motivators! Wolves don't actually generally eat babies. That was just an example.

I just keep putting things off until the very last minute. I've not yet been able to find something to keep me motivated, I guess. Nothing works for me.
