How do you get motivated to work?

I'm having one of those hikikomori moments, or simply too lazy to go outside to work. Obviously there's the whole work to eat thing, but I get the luxury of knowing I can depend on my parents if I can't support myself. So, how the hell do you people suppose a guy can get off his ass?

In my case i just have to realize that if i don't work then i'll be hitting the streets.

Ideally-

"Get a job you love, and you'll never work a single day in your life".

However, when reality strikes-

It's just plain sense, man. Gotta put food on the table and a roof over your head.

Unless you're content being a bum. I know plenty who have chosen that way of life. Way they see it- Poverty is a form of liberty.

Which does make some sorta sense. After all, Buddhist monks live as such.

So if you're so inclined- feel free to forgo all the hassle of the rat race- but bear in mind that in doing so you are also sacrificing all luxuries.

I think I'm in the same position, but then I am not. However, to answer your question, what I do is I try to motivate myself that work is a fun game and you must try to get the gold! At the moment, I want to get some work done, but currently typing out this dream I had. So far it might as well be a story for all I know

your parents wont live forever sooo go work

im gona need tips on this soon xD
Got a couple of weeks before my mum has to throw me out :)
she loves me and all but she literally cant afford to keep me xD
problem is though these days to get a job you need a job and someone like me with no experiance, although my grades are good, just doesnt get a job

I need money to survive and to buy anything I want for myself, work is all about money and money is all about anything nowadays. There's no such thing as free now, That's what motivates me to work.



Yes, that's most of the problem for starters but still "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

My mom pretty much makes me feel guilty by giving one of her speeches. Kinda gets me going soon after.

Guilt...the one thing I cannot live with.

It's rather easy to motivate myself for work:

Do I want money? I need to work.

Whenever I don't feel like working I always remember how small my paycheck was the last time I skipped work for a couple days.

ha. Motivation to work. Cute.

Though in all honesty, a smaller bonus or motivation will instill a greater focus than a larger one.

Tell yourself you'll get a job to treat yourself to something small now and then.

Been on my own since i was 16 when i graduated... free room and board from the college from 16-17 until the army. Army until i was 24 and from then i live off what i made working for photo jobs, teaching and my reserves pay. LEARN TO LOVE RAMEN AND RICE.

Sometimes you simply cant get motivated when you're trapped in a cushy civilian lifestyle but ive got a solution. Why not go out running late at night (Early mornings so you dont see any disgusting people) then sign your life away and join the Army as soon as you get to a decent standard of health and fitness I.E You stop doubling over, Panting and wheezing after running 1.5 miles and do it in a respectable time of about 12 mins or so! (Honestly whats the worst that could happen? You're pretty much dead inside anyway...)

You dont even have to think for yourself, Just grit your teeth and agree to WHATEVER your recruiting sergeant says (He'll take care of you) which pretty much guarantees you glory on a frontine somewhere. Welcome to the infantry son!

You'll be 'forced' to work now (I.E. You've gotta do it because you've got nothing else and you actually unbelievably start to enjoy it and love your life) so theres no real bullshit 'pressure' or any need to fake 'motivate' yourself to get off your ass and do some work. (People will now also show you more respect in society even though its a bullshit respect that you dont give a fuck about and if they dont then you can act a bit bolshy about it anyway especially if any lowly civvy dares give you lip service. "Well what have you done with your life ey? Worked in a fucking office all your life" "Well ive served my country proudly" "Yeah walk away" ETC)

You start to reflect on the direction your life could have gone if you didnt take action. *Shudders* Anyway...

Well done!! You once thought you were a complete failure, A worthless bum down on skid row but now you're the ULTIMATE BADASS, State of the badass art... Nobody wants to fuck with you because you're fit as fuck! (Now go to the closest mirror and flex your biceps you lovely boy, You know you want to... Ooooo~fucking~rah!!!) :D

On the days where I don't want to do something, I just do it anyway. No idea It could be that I find doing a routine schedule keeps my body happy because my brain can go on idle mode. Which has kept me going to the gym, etc.

If I didn't work, I wouldn't be on FAKKU.

If i don't go to work then i'll have to deal with my friends...yeah

Big tits boss <3

Now that's a really good reason lol

You should go work because it won't be a turn on if you hook up with someone and you have to use momma's dollah-bill to buy your rubbers.

simple in the case im guessing your a bit nerdy at heart , two steps from hell find the most epic song by them and then just play that as you do anything eventually itl just seem epic to make a sandwich , although i woudnt listen to it while laying on the couch in which case it would make it seem epic to lay there which is against the original goal , all serious though work = money , money = possible date options , possible date options= PUSSY , in the words of a particular fat american , get r done
