motivation at work
What do you do to get motivated at work?
I work in a pretty lax environment and can get away with just looking busy without doing much if I want to. I just can't seem to get motivated - and I really need to. I have a lot of stuff to learn (some of it is re-learning since I haven't worked with it in a year or so), but I have no real deadlines, so I'm struggling.
Re: motivation at work
I struggle with this CONSTANTLY.
Does making lists help you? I have found that it helps me b/c I can visually SEE how much I have to do, and crossing items off is satisfying. When I get in for the day I pick however many I think I can complete during that day (and I'm realistic about what I can really get done). If I'm particularly unmotivated I sometimes even e-mail the person that requested the work and say they will have it by the afternoon - then I'm locked in. (I guess I work better under pressure?)
If some of your stuff is training and independent work it might be a little more difficult, but I would still try to make it a point to complete (add it to your calendar, white board, or even a post it note on your desk) and set a deadline.

Yes! This is the only thing that keeps me on track!
I have a desk calendar (the Franklin page-a-day type) with a task list. Sometimes when I'm *ahem* Nesting, I'll look at the calendar and get a little shock when I see how much I have left to do! It also helps me remember projects that get set aside for last-minute requests that HAVE to be done right away, since I transfer the unfinished items to the next day's list, before adding new things as they come in.
I'm a slacker in the marking department. I HATE doing it. Otherwise, I guess I'm lucky to have a job that requires me to be on the ball and prepared everyday.
It is exhausting though. =/

Hehe, I knot/nest, then code, and then when I wait for the code to build, I come back and knot/nest again =P I don't know if that's real motivation but it helps me to have knot/nest breaks in between so I don't feel too worn out. I also snack when I'm feeling in a rut.
We also report status every morning so I guess that's motivation...to at least have something done to report about
I guess having self-imposed daily tasks to complete also works?
