How can I get motivated?

Question

My apartment is a mess, I do schoolwork but at the last minute, I can hardly wake up in the morning, etc.
I've always been sort of "lazy", but I'm 20 years old and I feel like now I should start to change - but it's difficult! I've been this way my whole life and I just don't know how to go about motivating myself to DO MORE.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Make to-do lists and place them on your door. Trying to do everything at once is a bear, but you can break it up into one hour blocks and play music when you work::
Monday - Clean bathroom
Tuesday - Do laundry & change bedding
Wednesday - Clean kitchen
Thursday - Dust and polish
Friday - Food shop
Saturday - read up when get out of bed for one hour
Sunday - Outside clean up (1 hour)

Answer 2

Set an exciting goal or goals that will make your life a dream come true. Imagine working for and achieving the things that will make living a great experience and then commit to doing the things to really make it happen!

Answer 3

Hi...yeah, start working out a little bit. Listen to music, make new friends. Try to do something that you haven't done yet. Anything, like a new hair cut, or go to a place where you haven't been yet, or try to learn another language, culture. Read books, pray...good luck!

Answer 4

Give yourself an incentive, like a reward for cleaning up or something like that. Clean up and then take yourself out to eat or to the movies, etc.

Answer 5

Think about how you want others to see you a lazy dirty sloppy person or someone who cares about herself and her surroundings.

Answer 6

set some goals... try to meet your goals everyday!! You'll be surprised to see what happens.
