Motivation?

When someone loose his/her motivation then don't show this. just go at place which you like and think that you are the one. just think your tasks which you have did. think that time you helped someone. think about the time when you done the amazing work every person have the time when he or she did the tasks without support and in aloness . then come out from that place think about a new task which you have to do next and throw yourself in that completely and promise yourself that you will the topper one in that task thats all. Thats the way i motivate myself. Thanks !!

To become something, you must dream of being something.

1)To motivate my self , I dream big. Some thing like being in my manager's shoes..going on a world tour.. having an independent Villa near a beach. Dream may be any thing bigger than your current situation ... 2)Once I dream , I follow the same old process of jotting down all my dreams and tasks to accomplish my dreams... 3) Once I complete jotting down all the tasks, I make sure that I tell my dream to some one who cares about me.. It may be your mom, wife , brother or GF. I also explain them why is it important for me to reach the goal and how big it is for me. This has worked well for me. When ever I lose motivation , loved ones tell me that I am out of my path and explain me the importance of achieving my goal.

Hmm these suggestions have absolutely enlightened my mind, thank you :) When i lose motivation,i play games or drink at a StarBucks Coffee :) and these make me stress out!

Good comments Mahesh. The way I try to stay motivated is to set a goal of things I need to accomplish and then figure out the steps to get to that goal. These goals can be broken up in to short term goals to make motivation easier. For example, say I want to create a product for the market, well this is an overwhelming goal, so I start by making a list of smaller goals that will get me there. Write requirements, evaluate competition, set up budgeting, write a marketing plan. These goals can even be broken up further. You then schedule the goals inside your calendar. Make sure you schedule around the important things, like time with your family, exercise and sports, etc. You'll find its much easier to get motivated if you have something to strive towards. If you have trouble coming up with an overall goal, here are a list of possibilities in the technical world. 1) Create a useful .NET component or application 2) Write a book on a particular .NET technology 3) Write articles for C# Corner to get exposure! 4) Obtain a telecommuting project in .NET that you are interested in. 5) Work on an open source project of interest or start your own. 6) Start your own website 7) Create a website for a friend or for a paying client 8) Start a marketing campaign to market your talents. 9) Come up with a set of steps to advance your career at your current job. 10) Start your own blog in .NET technology 11) Spend time reading about a part of .NET technology no one else is writing about and become an expert on it. Blog on it everyday. Just a few possibilities I came up with, but you may be able to come up with more

This is a million $$ question. Unfortunately I don't have to pay you that. It is almost impossible to get yourself motivated for the work which you're not force to do. If you are at work and have a boss every day, then you have some excuse to do the work. Here are a few things I apply to get motivated. 1. TO DO LIST Make a monthly, weekly and daily list of items you are planning to finish. For example, right now I have goal to finish all Windows Forms controls articles by next Sunday. As soon as you are done with a item, check it off. 2. KEEP WORK INTERESTING Do not work on same thing over and over again. For example, I have some hours dedicated to writing, some hours to my consulting work, some hours to new design and ideas, some hours to answer questions and some hours to watch TV and movies. No hours to sleep of course. 3. WORK OUT This is one of the biggest factor. You have to do some kind of exercise. It may be playing your favorite basketball game, soccer or whatever else. You have to make it a daily routine. This will take you and help you long way. When you're young, you may not realize it but eventually you will realize. Earlier you start, better it is. 4. TREAT YOURSELF Once in a while, you ought to treat yourself. Treat can be a movie, dinner or a trip to a water part or beach. 5. SHARE YOUR SUCCESS Share your success with loved ones. If you have won prizes or awards, do share with your friends and family. This is big. To keep authors motivated, we are bringing lot more prizes, awards and cash prizes including Google Revenue share program. Couple of more weeks left to go. To be continued .... I AM NOT DONE!
