So this has been very frustrating for me and I've been working on parsing out how to help myself with it in therapy, but I figured shared wisdom might help. When I have a deadline or owe something to someone else, I will get shit done. Even if I don't work in a linear fashion, by the time the deadline arrives I will deliver what needs to be delivered. If someone needs my help, it will take some very extreme circumstances for me not to make it work somehow. Then there're things that are very me-based. Purely self-motivated, unrelated to other people's needs. This is where I truly struggle. I'm writing a PhD. I have had some serious, bad life things happen since starting it (cancer being the biggest thing), and it has been extremely difficult for me to write it. I end up stopping for weeks, even months at a time. It's an individual project, so if I don't complete it within a certain time frame it's purely my problem (with money running out). It has been driving me crazy that my own dreams and ambitions are not enough to get me through. The same for basic life things. Sticking to basic levels of self-care regularly - I'm talking cleaning my apartment, cooking, showering etc. - is very hard for me. It's always effortful, and I have no true "routines". I loathe routines. If anybody has managed to workshop/hack this fucked-up motivation system somehow, I'd love to hear it. ADHD meds unfortunately aren't the answer here, partially because most of them affect my sleep very negatively, which I cannot afford, and partially because they don't actually change this internal drive, just allow my to be more productive at whatever it is I am motivated to do to begin with. EDIT: Whoa this post blew up a bit more than I expected, thank you all for commenting. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed replying to everyone but thank you all and I'm still reading your advice. To answer a question, yes I will be contacting my supervisor to create something more structured for PhD-related accountability :) submitted by /u/Any-Low-9414 to r/adhdwomen [link] [comments]

Instead of saying "I need to clean the kitchen," tell yourself: "I’m going to spend 5 minutes loading the dishwasher now so that 'Tomorrow Me' can wake up to a clean sink and a coffee." Treating your future self as a separate person you actually like makes chores feel like a gift you're giving, rather than a punishment you're enduring. It sounds cheesy, but the psychological shift is massive. submitted by /u/SalcClaudia to r/LifeProTips [link] [comments]

Former special counsel Jack Smith told a House committee Thursday that he fears Americans now take the idea of “rule of law” for granted, and that its execution depends on "collective commitment." In a hearing focused on Smith’s investigations into President Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents and role in the Jan. 6 attack, Smith said as a public servant in international settings, he has “seen how the rule of law can erode,” adding that many Americans may now take it for granted in the U.S. “The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it. It requires dedicated service on behalf of others, especially when that service is difficult and comes with costs,” Smith said. The hearing is an opportunity for the career prosecutor to publicly offer his inside perspective on the investigations, which both led to unprecedented indictments. Both were scuttled once it was clear that Trump would return to the Oval Office; Department of Justice policy prevents prosecution of a sitting president. Republicans and the president have accused Smith of pursuing a politically motivated case against the president. Trump has denied wrongdoing while attacking Smith, calling him a "criminal" who ought to be investigated and "put in prison." Smith defended his investigations in an hourslong closed-door meeting with lawmakers in December, saying he said he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" of what his investigations laid out. He’s denied accusations of bias.

Do these kinds of external predictions or evaluations affect the players’ mentality or preparation? Faker: Not really. External evaluations don’t have much impact on our mindset. We also don’t know what the result will be, but our goal is simply to do our best in every match, so those predictions don’t matter much to me. Q (to Doran): In the final game against AL, when your teammates were telling Oner to pick Dr. Mundo, you didn’t say anything. How did you feel at that moment? Doran: He was learning Mundo at the time, so I just trusted him and waited. It was his first time playing that champion, so he must have been under a lot of pressure, but he played really well. Q (to Oner): In the finals, is there a chance you’ll pick a champion you don’t usually play much, like Mundo? Oner: In the AL series, Mundo was a pick we needed for that situation, so I chose him. If the same kind of situation comes up in the finals, I think I’d make the same choice without regret. Q: Faker, welcome to Chengdu. Have you had hotpot here? Did you get a chance to see the giant pandas? Faker: Since coming to Chengdu we’ve basically only been practicing, so we haven’t had time to see the pandas. We did have some hotpot. Last year Chengdu hotpot was good, and this year it was delicious too. Q: This question is for Faker. During this year’s World Championship, which LPL team left the deepest impression on you? Faker: AL showed a very strong performance during this tournament. They’re the team that impressed me the most. Q: This question is for Faker. Recently, women’s esports leagues have been gaining a lot of attention. As a legendary player in League of Legends, could you share a piece of advice for female players aspiring to play professionally? Faker: I believe that the biggest strength of gaming is that men and women can both play without any physical differences. I've seen that there's been a huge growth in the number of female players around the world. I hope they can continue to grow and make an impact on the scene overall. Q: Please answer this question with one word, what should fans look forward to in the finals? Doran: Regardless of the result, I hope everyone enjoys the match. Oner: I’ll say “Game 1,” because I think the first game is the most important. Faker: I’ll show good performance. Gumayusi: Performance. Keria: I hope fans look forward to the level of play that reflects the players’ heartfelt dedication. Q: This question is for Keria. Earlier, Peter said that you’re the most complete support in every aspect, and the only area where he could beat you is with a rookie’s boldness and confidence. How do you feel about Peter’s comments, and about him saying he could win through that rookie energy? Keria: I’m grateful that Peter, who made it to the finals with such an impressive level of play, thinks of me that way. I believe that the composure and experience I’ve built up over time can completely overcome rookie boldness. Based on my experience so far, I think I can perform very well. Q: This question is for Faker. You are the most successful player in League of Legends history, having won many championships across different tournaments. What continues to drive you forward? Faker: As a professional player, I’ve never pushed myself purely for career achievements. I simply find competition and victory to be fun,that’s what motivates me. I always want to show my best self to the fans who support me and to inspire them. That’s why I keep striving. Q: This question is for Coach kkOma. There are only two days left before the finals, how is the team’s condition right now, and how will you manage the players’ form in the next two days? kkOma: We’re maintaining the same daily routine based on the match schedule, just like before. There haven’t been any big changes. We live according to a regular rhythm, working during practice hours, resting after, and preparing as we always have. Q: This question is for Faker. During the BO5 series against AL, which player’s performance or plays impressed you the most? Faker: Rather than one specific player, I was impressed by AL’s overall teamwork. Their game plan and strategies were excellent. Q: This question is for Gumayusi. In a past interview, Oner said that to become a professional player, you have to sacrifice your health and even your soul. Do you agree with that statement? If not, what do you think you’ve sacrificed as a pro player? Gumayusi: Like all sports, being a professional player definitely affects your body to some extent. But I think with proper health management, we can take care of ourselves. There are sacrifices, of course, but what we gain is greater than what we lose. Personally, I don’t feel like I’ve sacrificed anything. submitted by /u/Yujin-Ha to r/leagueoflegends [link] [comments]

Part 1: The Problem You’re stuck in a rut. Apathy. Lethargy. Whole days wasted away on Reddit or YouTube. Procrastinating on basically everything. Coasting by in a mediocre existence. You don’t want to keep living like this. You want to break out—to work hard and change your lifestyle, get fit, get a better job, start a business, pursue a creative dream—but for whatever reason, it's just impossible. You can never find the motivation to stick with anything. You decide to dig; see if you can uncover something that will unlock your motivation. You find a motivational video that describes it perfectly. You're drifting without clear purpose or aim. So you need establish your WHYs behind the many WHATs of your dreams. So you do all that. And for the first time in a while, you feel a flicker of hope. You feel a little determination, a little eagerness to get to work. So you sit down to make it happen—but then it hits you. That dreaded ugh I just don't feel like it feeling. You try to willpower through it, but not 5 minutes later, you're back on Reddit. What gives? …. Here’s the deal. You're confusing inspiration with motivation. You're assuming they're essentially the same when, really, they're not. The word motivation comes from the Latin word for “to move”. Interpret this, not as the will to move—that’s the domain of inspiration—but as the capacity to move. All that “why” stuff is important, but it’s the stuff of inspiration. It’s the conscious will and intention to get your work done and achieve your goals. But you have plenty if that. More is just not the solution. Motivation, on the other hand, is the subconscious approval to burn calories to do work. To use a car analogy, inspiration has you push on the gas pedal—and perhaps you’ll jam on it down extra hard if you have David Goggins blaring at you—but motivation… that’s the fuel injector. That's the part way deep in the engine that you have no direct control over. It's the valve that "decides" to release fuel for combustion, which is what actually propels the heavy chunk of metal forwards. Not saying it’s not important to get clear on your “whys”—a car won’t go fast or far if the pedal is barely tapped. I’m saying… your injector's been disabled. So you need to fix that first. Here's a 5-step process to get there. Part 2: The Solution Step 1. First prevent what suppresses motivation Us humans have serious survival needs. There's food, water, shelter... yet our psychological needs—love, intimacy, status, connection, adventure/novelty—are just as important. Back in the day, the cost to satisfy those needs were egregiously high. It took boat loads of effort, time and risk to survive. We therefore evolved a motivation → reward neurological pathway, a system to subconsciously compel us to burn precious calories—yet with only the exact minimum amount required—in the pursuit of survival affirming rewards. For the pleasure of food, you had to hunt. For the pleasure of intimacy and sex, you had to court and risk being ostracized. For the pleasure of status, you had to acquire resources. There was always a tight balance between the reward and its energy and risk demand. But that’s all changed. With today’s vices, we can trick our brains into perceiving that these base needs are satisfied with virtually no work or risk. For the pleasure of food, there's Door Dash. For the pleasure of intimacy and sex, there’s porn. For the pleasure of status, there’s social media. Today’s giant food, tech and entertainment industries have left no stone unturned. Every single one of our base needs has its vice equivalent—a consumable product that can deliver psychological rewards via artificial or vicarious means. All that to say the “motivation” part of the motivation → reward pathway is no longer needed. Your subconscious—your body's fuel injector that decides whether or not to burn precious calories for survival—is now programmed to know it can "survive" exceptionally well with the flick of a thumb. That’s why, after spending your morning on Reddit… then Pornhub, then Instagram, then YouTube… just the thought of opening up a work spreadsheet feels so grueling and unappealing. It doesn't matter how adamantly your conscious mind is demanding the burning of calories. Doesn't matter if it's clamoring about the importance of long-term goals or about impending doom. Your subconscious is utterly convinced that everything's fine—c'mon man, just look at all the survival-affirming rewards we just felt!—and that under no circumstances should scarce energy be burned. The take-away is this: consuming vices does more than just waste time. They suppress motivation. They lead to resistance; to that drained, ugh I just don’t feel like it feeling. Consume less crap. Practice digital minimalism. Delete and block stimulating sites and apps. And when you need to, relax and unwind with less stimulating activities: reading, writing, creating, socializing, self-care. Step 2. Arrive at the proper mindset I like to say that motivation is a cat. It won’t come to you if you’re desperate for it; if you need it to come. You have to sit still for a short while, “pretend” like you don’t actually need it, only then will saunter over to you. In other words, you need to find acceptance. You need to find acceptance of all that is now, in this tiny sliver of the present moment. Understand: The motivation to change things only happens once you come to accept the way things are. It's a colossal paradox. But it makes perfect sense once you realize that the most productive people out there aren't motivated because they hate their lives and and are yearning for change. They aren't riddled with unsatisfied needs and wants. They already feel whole and complete as they are; yet they also have a fire lit under them to work, hustle and make themselves and the world better. But coming to acceptance isn’t particularly fast or easy. If you go through with the first step above, you’re going to be left with a vacuum of your attention that will quickly fill with the thoughts, feelings and emotions—worry, anxiety, regret, stress, boredom—you’ve been impulsively using vices to distract and relieve. So it’s going to feel like "the now" is anything but ok. It's going to feel like your life, as it is now, is just not good enough to accept as is. Anticipate this. There is no antidote. No prevention. The only way out is through. You’ll just have to sit tight for a while and be mindful of the experience. Mindfulness is the practice of disassociating yourself from these thoughts, feelings and emotions. It involves observing dispassionately, them as if they were occurring outside you. hmm, there it is, that feeling again. That dark cloud of depression and hopelessness. I feel it right there in my gut. It's not pleasant, but I’ll just sit and watch until it passes. From there, from that detached state, it'll be possible to come to a gentle acceptance of all that is. *If you're finding this step particularly difficult or taxing, the support and guidance of a therapist can be key. Step 3. Start small with tiny amounts of willpower You’re heard of the concept of tiny or atomic habits. It’s where you strip down and simplify a habit you want to take on until it becomes almost trivial to accomplish—one squat per day, when you want to be doing 50; one sentence written per day, when you want to be writing a 3 pages. Starting small with habits is essential. The trick is to just show up for the habit, without forcing yourself to start right away. Sit and wait. See if a drip of motivation occurs to you. If it doesn’t, see if you can use a little willpower to nudge you forward. If it’s really not happening—if you don’t have the spoons—just let go and come back tomorrow. The beautiful thing is that actions cause more actions. It self perpetuates. Get started small and see your motivation to do a little more each time grow. Step 4. Engage in self-care and lifestyle actions Motivation—in the free flowing amounts you want—ain’t free. It needs to be earned. This happens by taking care. First take care of yourself. Get good sleep. Cook and eat well. Practice good hygiene. Learn, create, explore. Take the time for recreation, relaxation, play. Next, take care of others. Nothing nourishes the human spirit like doing good for others. It could be for your immediate circle, but also for your community, people of the internet, or the planet. Whatever floats your boat. Positive action leads to positive feelings leads to the desire to take more positive action. The more you do good, the more you want to do good. Throughout. Be patient and self-compassionate Self-compassion and patience is key in all this. The state of your subconscious has nothing to do with who you are as a person. You wouldn’t look at a Ferrari with a disconnected fuel injector and conclude it’s a terribly, slow car. So be ready to accept the fact that flossing even a single tooth might feel like an endeavor. Self-contempt and criticism in this are neither helpful nor deserved. All this takes time. Motivation is cultivated just like a plant (last metaphor, I promise). You need to gently place the seed in the right soil, give it a spec of nutrients and a splash of water—see the three steps above—but then it needs time to germinate, extend roots (which you won’t see for a while) and finally grow into a fruit bearing plant. You can’t force it. You can’t make it grow faster. Too much sun and it burns, too much water and it drowns. Let it be. Allow time to pass. Take the time to mindfully explore your emotions and inner sensations and detach from them. Be compassionate with yourself when (and not if) you slip up. Remember: your subconscious is still programmed to believe it can survive best through vices. It'll take time, a bit of effort, and some good defenses (webblockers, environmental changes) to override and then rewire this programming. - Simon ㋛ submitted by /u/noshittysubreddits to r/getdisciplined [link] [comments]

My brain tells me it's sooo hard and sooo much work and will come up with every excuse(I ate too much, tired, etc) But once I go for a run or workout, it was never that bad. (And if it was, only in the moment) I saw on r/running someone said running was good practice for doing other things you don't want to do in life. You get motivation from starting/doing. The toughest part is shutting your brain up and taking action. Once you're dressed and at the gym, are you really going to turn around and go back home? People do not want to be lazy. It's not that they can't workout, the brain is lazy and takes as many shortcuts as it can. Exercise is as hard as you want it to be, tricking the brain is the challenge. Edit: Wow this blew up!

I think it started with "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" and has just exploded from there, a lot of books with swearing in the title to make it seem "edgy" or whatever. I feel like whenever I go into Barnes & Noble every few weeks there's a few new ones It's not that swearing bothers me, it's just that it's gotten over the top and obnoxious. No doubt that some of these books have good info in them, but can we please come up with better titles? submitted by /u/Motorvision to r/books [link] [comments]
