I have Rosetta Stone for Spanish, and I'm having trouble making the time to work on it, I always seem to be distracted by something else...any advice
Need to get me some of that motivation
Maybe it doesn't interest you at this time.
Not much, motivation is hard. I'm just hopeful that I can possibly make this world a better one before I die. Other than that life in general seems like weighing the ups and downs of existing and not existing.
Step back and leave it completly and come back to it.
My motivation is largely inspired by a desire to achieve a measurable outcome. This is not entirely affective as I usually find another goal that supersedes my original project goal so I wind up with a variety of ongoing projects. When I finish one goal, I usually initiate another project so there is a constant pile of projects (distractions) to work on. I am most effective at accomplishing goals when I prioritize them as most desirable outcome.
Weed. I'm not even joking. It motivates me like nothing else.
I'm motivated by fear of failure. I need to actually have a stake in what I'm doing. There needs to be consequences of failure. Very often, these consequences need to be direct. Couple of years ago, back in school, encouraging me to try my best had very little impact. Threatening me with penalties got me going.
