Motivational Problems
16 years ago
General
I have a question for the prolific and highly-productive folks out there.
What do you do to keep yourself motivated?
Seriously, I need all the help and hints and pointers I can get, because I've got stuff I've been sitting on for just ENTIRELY too long. Gettign things finished is a BANE for me. Got millions of ideas, and precious few ever see completion.
SOOoooo... how do YOU keep yourself focused?

Beyond that, I listen to pounding techno music whenever possible. Not only do I love that, but it keeps me awake, sharper, and entertained beyond how I normally would be. Right now I'm listening to some of iconrenardv:'s music, in particular:

There's more music collections of his along the right side of the page.
Other pounding music I find by forming a playlist Pandora.com, or listening to random stuff at:
http://www.di.fm/mp3/hardcore.pls
http://www.di.fm/mp3/hardstyle.pls
I aslo listen to this peaceful crap a little to balance it out:
http://www.sky.fm/mp3/newage.pls
Anyway! If you have Winamp, you can copy one of those links, open Winamp, File Menu > Play Url. Then, paste the url and accept, and bam, streaming music. If you don't already have Winamp, it can be found h'yarrrr:
http://www.winamp.com/
From what I've seen, the .pls file format relates specifically to Winamp, but if you even have Windows Media Player, the other url formats for the links I put up can be found at di.fm and sky.fm. Windows Media Player handles entering music urls the same way, but with "Open Url" instead of "Play Url", and requires a different format. I'd still recommend using Winamp though.
Some other music sites offer streaming music too, so keep yer' eyes open!
BTW: Streaming music = bad for kitty.
I'm not online very much and because of where my system is plugged in, it's in the middle of a TON of noise all day long, and worse, my music is annoying to everyone around.
Is why I LURVES me's MP3 player! ^-^ <3 <3 <3
There's a fun story about how I got it... it's a 4gig Sansa that cost me about $5 last year.
Go ahead... ask about the story! ^-^
For me, it's power metal (Like, say, Dragonforce, or some of Blind Guardian's songs). It tends to get me *really* amped, for some reason.
