favorite self motivation tactic?
| I set a minor goal that won't drain me and when I'm done with it I repeat the process
| I'm the kind of person that can only get motivated to do shit with a reward. For example, this week at work has been some bullshit.. but I keep telling myself that if I make it through the week, I can go to sephora and pick up the new eyeshadow palette I want as a reward for tolerating it.
Or at home, I'm like "alright bitch, clean the whole house and afterwards we'll go get ice cream."

hmmm. can't really do that since part of my job is be creative and slightly chaotic. setting goals kind of feel too systematic, which is a weird thought actually, but the best motivation for me somehow is one that makes me doesn't think about goals at all and just push me into the working mindset? not sure if that makes sense.

rewards are the shit, my g/u/rl. for me, rewards is for when i really hit the rock bottom, self employed and all. gotta go out, watch movies, eat pizza and all that when I'm waaay too jaded and exhausted to even think about work!
| Have sex and have fun.
| I remember when my childhood friend told me: "It's okay, only you know you didn't try your hardest."
| Cock and ball torture.
But really, I do something that gives me surplus enjoyment at which point i feel shitty if i don't do work.
The killer is middling or low effort procrastination.
| Listen to Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon players ranting and making lists on YouTube while I work
| Not feeling like shit. It's hard l, but if you pull it off it works.

all work and no sex makes me a sad g/u/rl

I'll remember that the next time I'm trying to be perfect

yesss guilty pleasure at its finest.
low effort procrastination is the worst, especially when I can procrastinate with some effort but instead I choose to open youtube.

having something plays in the background oddly works sometimes. I'd expect to get distracted but on the contrary it helps me NOT get distracted by *everything else*

I have none. If I just kinda feel better I feel better. I am no master. I am a failed apprentice.

| i have a few bad ones, like cramming work when i'm supposed to be doing something else so that panic kicks in or intentionally making bad decision to guilt trip myself into working as an atonement. if you have actual good trick please share i'm at the end of my wits.
