This is about not just getting out of bed in the morning and having energy for life. This is about when you’ve got something important to be done. Staying motivated to get it done when it gets hard, when it gets frustrating, when there’s other things, competing priorities, when you just don’t have the energy to get up and do it or do it at any time and all of a sudden you can procrastinate for days and then those days turn into weeks and months and this thing, this task, this job, this thing you’re trying to nail, you’ve made no progress on and as a result it starts to eat away at you a bit. You know you should be doing this, you should be doing this, but something isn’t happening.
