I asked a friend who is a freelancer how he motivates himself to work. you know, being self-employed, he is not governed by time as set up his employer and he does not have to clock in at a specific time. He could work at any time he wishes or he could not work at all for a day or even a week. Of course, there are times when he is highly motivated to complete a project and he would work through the night, unless he gets distracted by something.
My friend told me that money is a great motivation. But of course! Still he makes it a point to set aside part of his monthly income to spend on whatever he likes. He could invest in a media player, a new camera set or maybe a smart phone. He said that by buying something tangible every month, something that he could feel and use, motivates him a lot. He said that keeping cash in the bank and seeing it grow gives him a good feeling but it doesn't motivate him as much as getting himself a new toy that he could play with.
I should learn from him to keep myself motivated thus but I just can't see the justification in spending so much on material goods. Can you?
