How to do Self-Motivation

 I motivate myself by setting reasonable goals and also ones that I will enjoy. As I get a little older, I realize that I am probably going to do best those things that I do well and that I get some pleasure or benefit from. So I do not saddle myself with unreasonable expectations or things that others want from me but that I do not want to do. So that means I keep a nice picture of the goal in front of me and take my time. If I cannot do any more on the project, I distract myself with something else for just a little while before getting back to the main work, which keeps me motivated.
