Motivation is something that many people consider inherent. You either have it or you don�t. You either have will power or you don�t. I am a little mixed on the idea because sometimes I feel very motivated, and sometimes have just a horrific lack of motivation. We all know that motivated people are some of the most successful people, they are the ones that everyone envies: �Oh she is just so motivated! I wish I was that motivated!�
1. Create rapid feedback mechanisms (paid regularly all year long)Their overall findings with this study � or the 2 Fertilizers to grow your Motivation:3. Thou shalt clean thy refrigerator on a regular basis to avoid the growth of mould and the proliferation of vile stenches. The best way to clean a refrigerator is to switch the power off at the wall (for verily, thus thou shalt conserve energy and be a good steward not only of the earth but of the pennies in thy purse) and remove all the items therein, flinging such items are dubious, mouldy or past their use-by dates into the compost heap or organic recycling system so that they might be returned unto the soil from whence they came. Then thou shalt clean the interior of thy fridge with baking soda and a soft, damp cloth, remembering that the most efficient way of cleaning refrigerators is to work from top to bottom. The baking soda hath manifold benefits, absorbing stenches as well as cleaning grease and grime from the interior without harsh scratching. And forget not to clean the compartments in the door of thy refrigerator. Finally, thou shalt rinse any residue of baking soda from the walls, door and floor with a clean damp cloth.Children in Second grade were given $2 for each book that they read. The average student earned $13.81. The results of this study were positive and the children ended up increasing their reading comprehension drastically.If you have an older fridge, check the door gaskets to make sure you have a tight seal and aren't losing cold air around the doors.7. Thou shalt change tea towels and dish cloths daily, sending the old ones to the laundry for cleaning. For verily, these are a breeding ground for bacteria.One last thing to remember, when there's lightning around, it might be safer to just unplug your fridge and freezer. Food in the freezer will stay frozen for up to 48 hours if the door is kept closed. Food in the refreigerator will keep up to 24 hours.2. Thou shalt not use poisons for cleaning benches where food is prepared. Instead, thou shalt use the natural house cleaning products that thy God hath created, such as vinegar and baking soda. Thus thou shalt not consume minute traces of wicked chemicals.Another good use for these jugs of ice: set one on the kitchen counter in the morning. As the ice melts, your children can have ice water to drink without opening the refrigerator door.A self-motivated person must create the quick feedback mechanisms for their self. This means that they get to set small accomplishable tasks along the way and implement a reward/feedback system. I am big proponent of self reward. On a daily basis, if you accomplish a goal do you get to run up to Starbucks for a latte? Or after you meet your goals in a week, do you get to take a night off and go out? Small accomplishments done frequently end up being big accomplishments over time!!Now that it's clean and defrosted, keep your freezer efficient by filling empty spaces with old milk jugs filled with water. These jugs also make good ice blocks for your picnic cooler!9. Thou shalt keep thy rubbish covered, for thus thou shalt deter vermin (including greedy cats and dogs) from raiding therein. Furthermore, this prevents bad smells. To remove smells from inside the rubbish bin, sprinkle baking soda inside, as this absorbs smells.10. Thou shalt rinse all dishes as soon as the meal is finished. This makes it easier to clean the dishes either in the dishwasher of when washing dishes by hand.4. Remember thy floor, to keep it regularly mopped and vacuumed. Verily, the kitchen is the heart of the home, so many feet walk on it, spreading the surface with mud, fluff and dust. Kids who got paid faster did betterWhat smaller audacious goals can you set for yourself and make them really enticing? I find that as I am growing different areas of my business, maybe I have a goal of launching this product or that idea. Or I have a goal of $5,000 revenue. All worthwhile goals, but don�t they sound much like �get good grades?� Is it no wonder why we sometimes fail and then blame our �motivation.�Another "small" thing you can do: when you are putting away your groceries after a trip to the store, gather all your items for the fridge in one place. Then you can open the refrigerator one time and put everything inside.How motivated would you have been to clean out an ant-infested refrigerator? Would you have let it sit for weeks? Maybe considered throwing it away? Well, my son saw the refrigerator as a small inconvenience in his quest to purchase the �Pokemon PokeDex� instruction manual. My neighbor, being exceptionally pleased that my son would take on such a dirty job, told me what a motivated kid I had. But was he really?One way to do that is to keep your refrigerator and freezer, if you have one, running efficiently.
