Goals

[edg]

or, Holy Crap, That's What I Look Like From The Side?

So here's the trouble with goals: I don't know how to set and keep them. I'm not very good with setting internal consequences for not meeting goals. (You may read that as "I don't have very much willpower", if you like.) So I have a problem with getting things done, as long as there are no consequences imposed by external forces.

How is this done? How do you find a good balance between "unmotivating" and "unrealistic"? How do you motivate yourself to do something if the only pressure to do it is yourself?

I...do not know. Though in general, I've only had luck meeting self-made goals if I really care about the results. Things only get cleaned if I find I want to look at someting clean, and I have a very hard time writing anything unless I want to know how it turns out.
