What gets you motivated? To me, there is no better motivation than catastrophe. I need to get to a place where I'm basically backed into a corner and forced to do something.
The only reason I decided to stop being a crackhead was because I'd basically hit rock bottom. There was no choice in the matter and I'd probably be dead in a ditch with my ass in the air otherwise. Now I'm in a much BETTER place so it's easy to become complacent.
And yet I will have dreams and goals far beyond my current situation. The potential to attain these things is within my grasp but half the time I'd rather curl up on the couch and watch 'The Simpsons' on rerun instead of doing the work to get there. There is always tomorrow, when I'll have more time, or the weekend, next week!
When I don't absolutely HAVE to do something it just seems like such a bother. That's why deadlines are also effective. There is no alternative.
So, what's your motivation?

Mine is being the kind of person that I'm attracted to.
I take a look at myself and ask, if I were someone else, would I be attracted to me?
If the answer is no, I work on those things. I need to start up again, there's a few things that I need to work on.
Totally the same especially when it comes to my teeth or my health.
I am extremely paranoid about both and believe I take care of both far better than anyone else so I won't got to the doctor or the dentist until something either won't stop bleeding or has fallen out.
