Motivation follows interest. Getting and staying motivated is incredibly difficult if you don't have a strong interest in what you're doing, or you see the task as a bother. If you want to make it easy on yourself, instead of having to use willpower, learn to find activities so that they mean something to you. Be very clear about what you want as an outcome before you begin moving forward. Make it matter to you give it meaning, assign the expected benefits of accomplishing it. If it matters has meaning and benefits to your life, even in a small way.

You'll be motivated to keep moving forward, you'll be interested the process will be more enjoyable and mean something to you
