Working on a project right now trying to get some artwork done and it just seems so hard to get myself motivated to start it. However once I do start it there's just some drive in me that makes me not want to stop until it's finished or until I have to stop for that day. Just curious if anyone else out there has that unusual sense of hard to start work, but in turn it's hard to stop once you get going.

Eeyup.

I'm a major procrastinator, sometimes it takes me up to a month to do something I say I'm going to, but once I start I dont want to stop.

Ive been making beats for 5 years now. for 4 years I worked on making beats everyday. I just had this motivation that was in my that made me want to fit on the studio software whenever I had the time.

But this year I just couldnt get myself to do it. There could go days without even opening the software, but once I did I could stop it untill a few hours passed. But now I really wonna do it, and take it to the next level, but for the most times I just cant get myself to do it.

Maybe its just lazyness.

My exact feelings concerning studying Cell Biology...

I mean, knowing I'll find it interesting once I start SHOULD be enough of a motivator, why isn't it?

I worked in a cabinetmaking shop for about ten months, just cleaning, moving stuff, helping on projects and helping unload deliveries on site. When I wake up at 5am and start getting ready for work I imagine what I'll probably be doing that day and sometimes it'll be really busy and I'll be dead tired by the end or it'll be really slow and I'll be dead bored by the end. I worry before hand, but as soon as I get to work and start to get into it I get into a mode where I won't stop giving my all until the day is done. A good example is when I had to break the edges by hand of 1400 of these small square table legs, it took me hours and hours and a bit of flesh removed from rubbing my hand too vigorously on the sand paper. It would have been a bit daunting if I had been warned about it before hand(I wasn't), but when I got started no matter how tired I got I wouldn't stop until every single one was done.

I always thought of that job as being one step in my career. I'm not going to compromise it by my unwillingness to give my all.

Same here. I've been saying for two weeks I needed to cut the diamond plate I had in my basemant for my new computer case. It took me a week just to buy the blades for my circular saw. Then it took me a week to actually cut the plate up. But once I started I didn't want to stop till the case was build. Unfortunately, I ran out of material so it's still not finished.

Tons of things are like that for everybody, from what I've seen. You 'break the ice' and then you can see the merits of the activity. Parkour, exercise, hitting on girls, drinking (for sure), relapsing (tobacco mostly), homework, dancing, programming (at times), going out, and so many others.

Yup. Always tricky to get started, but once things get organised and I know what I'm doing, I could go on until there's no more food nearby.

I have a few design projects that need to be done, and they are always stretched out because I waste time browsing on the internet or talking to people on facebook or my phone.

All I say to myself is, "if you want to even play Skyrim for an hour tonight, you better get back to work!"

I was never like this either. I'm not sure what triggered it. Anyways, i'm done procrastinating. BACK TO WORK!
