Do you find it easy to motivate yourself or do you work better if you have someone pushing you?

I always pictured myself to be a good team member in the army, but know if you push me beyond what I want to do, I’ll just quit.

But working for myself for so long I find it hard to get motivated.

How about you, does your get up and go take time to get going?

I tend to have to act on moments of motivation pretty much as they happen and it just kind of snowballs from there. Otherwise yeah, it takes a while to get going.

Nothing motivates me more than a looming deadline. If it's not last minute I'm not interested

Haha yep this! Give me a deadline and I'll wait until I get stressed enough to finish it in record time!

I'm like a snowball rolling down a mountain, gaining enthusiasm and motivation, by the time it reaches the bottom and is destroyed I'll be at my peak motivation

I'm useless, the only thing that motivates me is a deadline, or an animal in need of attention!

I'm not good at being told what to do.

If so things needs to be done I tend to just get it out of the way as quickly as possible. Also prevents me from forgetting to do it and have to rush round at the last minute... I forget to do loads of stuff, maybe I need a personal assistant....

Just around the corner

I can motivate myself but find it a lot easier if someone’s pushing me.

I rarely need a kick up the ass

I have always been good at self motivating and I am good at motivating others

I’m much better when it’s a crisis. I move quickly and efficiently when panicking.

Deadlines, I always leave to the last minute because of my point above.

If I have a goal in mind I am better motivated.

Walking down the only road I've ever known!

If a problem is thrown at me I deal with it straight away, yet other times I need a kick up the arse to get motivated.

No. I work better when there is a deadline.

My brain seems to sort itself out when I have a time to stick to.

When it comes to something like cleaning out my kitchen cupboards it happens accidentally.

I don't plan stuff like that; I start moving things and keep going.

I do that. If I plan it I can't be bothered.

Takes me a bit normally but when I'm at work I have to act to the situation so get straight on with it.

If I havnt got a deadline then it is unlikely to ever get done. If there is a deadline then there will be a flurry of panic in the dying minutes but it will all be done.

Currently trying to motivate to log off here.
