It's called discipline.

Motivation is a feeling. Relying on feelings is for women.

Go to the gym when you're tired. When you're sick. When you're sad. When you're hungry. When you're full. When you're happy. When you're horny.

Etc. The common thread.. you had the discipline to go to the gym, under any circumstances.

Now you take that discipline and apply it to the rest of your life. Your mission is more important than your day-to-day feelings.

How much are you overhead pressing these days.

Once you start making real progress in the gym you become extra motivated not just in the gym but in all areas of life.

Learn how to manage your goals.

Read the whole post, and take your time with it. If you set your goals right, not only will they be easier to achieve, you'll find you have more time left for other goals.

I use a personally designed timetable for this purpose. I split it into different categories, these are the rows. These categories may be: work, school, fitness, seduction, miscellaneous, eating, etc.

Then I use the days of the week as columns.

I have this printed out in 52 pages, spiralled together, each page for a week of the year. It's hanging above my workdesk. A great way to keep realistic expectations, and expect these expectations of yourself.

I also write into a journal. Not really for storytelling, just to keep track of how I feel I progressed at any given task/goal.
