Cool video. Totally agreed. That's how I got through my Poirot anthology project . The motivation for starting the project in the first place was, for the most part, what got me to finish it. Thinking back, I'm glad I pushed forward, or I'd be feeling like 💩 if I hadn't.
You just have to WANT to do it , whatever the reason. Knowing WHY you start a project is what will help you to see it through. Not to mention how you'll feel if you don't get it done. That second motivator ~ how you'll feel if you don't see the project through, might be stronger than your original reason for starting in the first place.
Morale Booster. GET 'ER DONE!
There are a group of friends who, 16 years ago, accomplished what we thought to be the impossible. I HOPE they look back on that time and say to themselves, "YEAH! We did THIS!" and let that sense of , "OMG! We DID THIS!" carry them through life's bigger challenges.
I'm improving gradually.
Keep at it! You'll get it done!
