Great article. One thing people forget is procrastination is really fear. The reason I feel a lot of people do not maintain their motivation is they stop focusing on the end reasoning for the goals.
The second part deals with rewards. If you do your to do list you may get 0 to minimal rewards. However, someone who obsessed with their tasks will get abundant rewards. Lot's of people do not have confidence that they will be the on who gets over rewarded.
I am big into self improvement but need to get better at self implementation. :)
Like the reward system! Thats a great idea
Thanks. I've found we get burned out when we lose focus of our goals or feel we are not making progress on them. We tend to stop making progress and interest when the rewards are not flowing in. Get the rewards and the motivation all of a sudden re-appears.
