Motivation is a problem for everyone, I think. Your method sounds like a good way of conquering it, and that’s the one I’m going to try.

Nice episode, great message and you reminded me to pay my phone bill!

Sometimes, motivation is hard. I like your ideas, so I think I’ll try them out. I just have no motivation to draw anymore. Now I think I’ll try to slide back into it. Thanks for getting my day started right, Jeskid!

Don’t worry about the donation.
Anything to get the momentum going eh?

Thanks for the advice! Definitely worth trying out.

be careful with how many times you trick yourself. sooner or later you’re going to catch on… it’s going to be a battle… and you won’t be able to talk to yourself for weeks.

What happened to coffee? Jeskid’s motivation in a cup?
I’ve been doing the same thing with school work, laundry here, chore there. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but I’ve yet to have a falling out with myself, like Mark suggested lol

This was a great pep talk. It really did motivate me to just get moving. Start small and then just let the momentum get me going. But funny thing, one of the first small things I did to get the ball rolling was shave, because I haven’t shaved in over a week. And then the irony hit me.. Jeskid motivated me to shave. Funny old world, ain’t it?

Great episode! Everybody needs to find something that motivates them. Little things add up and get the ball rolling!

Just need to keep your mind occupied and stay active until you think of your next great thing. Looking forward to Jeskid TV or just Jeschat is enough to keep me going even if you don’t have your next big project rolling. Whatever you come out with your fans and friends will always be here to back you on it, good and bad. We all know Jeskid is not one to give in and so we won’t give up on you. That is my motivaton.

It would be so much easier to finish the boring things if life weren’t so entertaining.

Can I take your motivational class? lol.
