    Default Motivation to Work

    I struggle with going into work, probably more than anyone that I know. I'm not lazy, I don't mind the job, I feel as though I'm good at the job, I make decent money, I get along with co-workers; I'm not sure what my problem is. I've been doing this for 8 years, and I've had numerous breaks, so I don't think that I'm burnt out.

    I work with people to develop "behavioral intervention plans" in order to get them to do specific behaviors. I find that I need my own plan. The problem is that I don't have a motivator.

    What would be a good motivator? I'm horrible at waiting for things that I need - I typically go ahead and buy them. I already have trips planned. I don't really care about expensive clothes, jewelry, purses, etc. I have enough money (not trying to brag, but just showing my dilemma).

    Please help.

    I think the main things that hinders my progress is that I'm busy with other things - but MANY of you are busy with other commitments. It's just easy for me to say, "Oh, I could be writing this paper" or "Oh, my workout made my muscles sore and I won't be able to do well at work compared to how I usually do and I don't want customers to see me in a bad mood."

    I give myself a different motivator every night. Sometimes I tell myself the money i'm making is for me and my boyfriend to go out for a nice meal, or its for new years eve, or a christmas present for my Dad.
    Its not how I actually divide up my money, but it gives me a different nice thing to look forward to each night.

    Resurrecting an old post here...
    I have the same problem. I had a small chunk of savings before I started dancing, and since I don't spend much aside from rent and necessities anyway, I don't technically *have* to work. I still want to, but somehow I always end up talking myself out of it at the last minute, like, "well, whatever, I don't actually need to go in tonight".
    Most nights when I work I'm really anxious ahead of time and almost always end up having fun and making decent money. UGH! Why can't I kick my own ass to get in there?

    ^^ you need to ask yourself if you're doing this to get by, like live, or to invest and build. When I was in school I had bursaries and was making really great money when I did work so I barely worked, now I work freelance in my field during the day and work 3-4 days a week at night unless I'm traveling for my square life. I get tired all the time but I want to retire from striping with a nest egg. You need financial goals beyond a vacation or present. Ask yourself where you see yourself in 5 or 10 years? If you want to be a career stripper do you want to become a landlady or buy a business to continue to earn after retirement or just save enough to sit on your ass when you quit. Or, do you want to change careers and what training will you need for that, what will it cost, when would you like to do it. When you start thinking long term your motivation to work will grow but it takes real goals, IME.
