It’s easy to complete a task or project when you’re motivated. You want to to push yourself. You’re excited about the project.

What about the days you don’t feel like doing anything?

Those are the days that matter most. 

The hardest part about being consistent and continually completing what you’ve started is getting through the dips and tough days.

When you least want to work on that project, work for an extra hour, or do one more set is when you need to the most. 

Pushing through the tough times will almost guarantee you finish your projects.

Of course, it’s easier said than done.

Try the reward system. 

If you finish x part of the project you get one hour of TV. Of you run one more mile you can eat anything you want for dinner. 

It’s important to figure out what motivates you and use that to push you when you hit a rough point.

What are the outcomes your looking for? What happens if you complete this project? How important is it for you to finish? What if you don’t finish the project?

Keep these things in mind.

If the goal or project really is that important to you, you’ll find ways to stay motivated and dedicated to finishing what you’ve started.

Find these reasons and you can push through any dip.
