    I really have no idea how I made it through 5 years of college.

    I guess I have an inner motivation that just gets me going for school or work.

    On other hand, I sorely need enough motivation for me to stay on the course with working out. I have a huge problem with inconsistency! I work out for two weeks then if I can't work out on a certain day then I won't work out for a week.

    When I was younger I used to have a really bad problem with proscratination but since college I've been able to motivate myself to get things done. I don't have any secret but usually feel I need to get things done out of a sense of duty to my parents who raised me and want to see me do well, to my business partner, and to me to try to do the best and better myself as a person.

    That sounds like a great experiment. Did you stay at shelters and use food shelves?

    To get up in the morning, go to class, do homework, study: thinking of what will happen if my grades slip. I'll lose any chance for getting scholarships, which will help pay for school, which will keep me from having to work so much. Thinking of how my grades were borderline back in the day (at Rice, in a hard science major, but still) and remembering the stigma of how teachers felt about me, how I felt about myself, when I was failing classes or barely scraping by. Remembering I went back to school for a reason.

    To go to work, prepare for it, do a good job: think of how much I need the money; also, I've had situations where people weren't happy with me at work - it's easy for it to happen in my job - and I'll want to stay on top of things.

    To do all this before the last minute so I don't use up most of my sleep time: now, that's a little harder, but I'm getting better. Thinking of how grouchy I feel when I'm tired, and how I need energy to drive home from night classes that are a long way away, and how much I love to sleep.

    To work out: thinking of how guys will be more attracted to me. Same for eating healthy.

    To clean up around the house: that's my boyfriend's job. Otherwise, only when someone's coming over. Some things aren't worth wasting motivation on. I only have so much, you know.
