I keep going up and down in motivation letting myself get caught up in instant pleasure compared to longer term growth and happiness. Having this blog has been a real life hack in this regard as I pretty much look into the mirror on a daily basis which makes it really hard to let myself go for anything but a short period of time. It's not enough though, but I think I found another life hack to take care of that...
When I had a date last over a week ago, It gave me plenty of motivation the weeks prior to do well and make sure I was at my best mental state. So If I would plan another date a little further down in the future (end of the year) it should give me the needed motivation to fully get at it again. I plan to take care of that the next few days.
While I don't like the idea that I need outside factors to be motivated. (It should just come from within myself) . It is what it is at the moment and I'll just do what works aiming for one day to not need these tricks anymore. Until then, I will keep making a daily blog keeping track of my overall activity...

Hi @byebyehamburgers, I think your posts are really educational for my own life. It is interesting to read about how you look at things like motivation and having an outside factor influencing it.
Thanks!

Nice to hear, thanks @michelmake.
The thing is, doing what you know is best itself is not all that difficult. It's dealing with the choice you have not to do it and take the easy road which is the real problem. I guess it's a human condition and as good as everyone is suffering from it in one way or another. If you are more aware it can cause quite a lot of dissonance :-)
Getting some comments also really helps by the way, so thanks :)
