Monday Motivation :: Spring Fever

I believe that the White Witch has finally been vanquished here in Chicagoland, which has had its snowiest winter since the infamous blizzard of 1979. I was seriously beginning to feel like we were stuck in Narnia :: always winter, never Christmas.

Yet behold, the signs of life:

Repeat after me:

I will not play hooky until my deadlines are met.

I will not play hooky until my deadlines are met.

I will not play hooky until my deadlines are met.

So, what is the Monday Motivation drill?

Step 1 – let us know what you are going to get done today (your to-do list, so to speak).

Step 2 – put it in a comment below or a post on your own site.

Step 3 – let us know what will motivate you to get it done – a reward, consequences, or whatever you need to think that will ensure you do what you say you are going to do. I’ve found that the public announcement and accountability is a particularly great motivator, but throw down consequences if you really need a kick in the pants to get stuff done! Unless, of course, you are working towards a new laptop too, in which case I think the reward is particularly motivating.

We don’t care how you get it done, we just want to support you in reaching your goals.

Today before I go to sleep I will:

• Clean out my inbox of 462 emails
• 3 loads of laundry
• Finish changing WordPress settings all new blogs
• Create thumbnails for each blog
• Call Kelly McCausey

If I don’t get all of this done by the time I said I would, I will give a Kiva Entrepreneur another $250.

So what are you going to get done today?
