How to stay motivated and get things done faster
The following applies the best to those of you who work at home, but this is useful to be read by anyone with a job that requires some thought. (Only the motivational things apply to mostly physical jobs here.)I tend to start my working days with an energy drink or a mug of coffee and get some more caffeine 5 hours+ later if necessary. I drink energy drinks because they are more effective than coffee for me and taste better in my opinion. The energy drink itself motivates me to start working because for some reason, it is something I look forward to.
To have a real, good purpose in your file is the best motivation there is to do work that relates to the purpose and with just about only that, I can work 55+ hours a week efficiently without a boss other than myself. I’ll talk about the purpose of individuals in life later.
An essential part of this post is to read a Steve’s article.
The main thing I disagree with the above article is that you’d want to cultivate your enthusiasm by listening to motivational tapes etc. daily because it just makes you think about staying motivated so much that it will reduce your motivation instead.
You should definitely spend you first hours after awaking on work because that is when your brain functions the best and you can get four hours of work done in two hours or less! It is better not to brush your teeth, eat or browse the net etc. on the first hour. After the first hour you should probably go eat your breakfast though but you should eat lightly in the mornings or you’ll get more or less drowsy. No bacon, fries, cheese or something like that is light. Cereals/bread and fruits are an optimal basic breakfast.

I personally drink decaf tea and also water or maybe fruit juice. I avoid artificial crap and stimulants so I’m not dependent on caffeine/energy drinks
I’m vegeterian so I know the importance if diet.
