How do you motivate yourself to get something done?

i set myself goals that are achievable and measurable. for example, if you have to read a book, set yourself a target to read a certain number of pages by a particular date...

Well my way is that i ask God to give me the strength to do whatever at hand or else i say to myself if i don't get this done than i won't be able to do anything else cause than i'll be worried about it so i like to get it done and out of the way.

If I need to get something done, I set up a goal list, and every time I get something done I tick it off the list and treat myself to something. Could be a bg of my favorite sweets, could be a pair of designer jeans....

I have to really push myself sometimes, my husband was doing some DIY today and I had to wash all the floors because of all the dust, it's really hot and I so didn't feel like it.But now I can relax because the house is **** and span again.

I have a reward system for myself. I load up an episode of an anime and tell myself I can't watch it until I read a certain number of chapters

i usually wait till the night before it's due and then realize that i HAVE to do it now, or i'll fail. Works wonders!
