I’ll usually listen to music but today I’m talking to my clients in different accents lol. I’m wildin rn lol!! I’ve officially lost it!! But yesterdays check was so disappointing that I give no fcks today! At least my supervisor and coworkers find what I’m doing to be entertaining
I remind myself of my financial goals such as the saving, emergency F-- you fund, 401K to reach a certain amount, trip I want to save up for, how I need the money from the 9 to 5 to finance my side hobbies, etc. but if I remind myself of all of that and I still find myself unmotivated to be consistent then I know that it would be time for me to plan my exit.
Talking in accents with clients? Thats new and very to do.😆

I would always try to talk in accents or well weird, if i had more contact with customers haha seems like fun to me
To the question, nothing. I tell myself to suck it up or when it's really not going well, I mostly just act like working but instead I will do something else and work more the next day, to get my time in again
I don’t tend to drift on the job. My job is interesting, difficult and, frankly, dangerous. So i rarely get bored and losing focus can cost me my job or my life. It could also result in someone else getting hurt or killed, or the destruction of expensive equipment. The stakes are high, and that’s where i get my focus in the highly unlikely event that i am doing something so repetitive that i can drift even a little.
For me personally I always focus on my future. For a while I technically retired but decided to come back to start some other business and branch out. I dont have much family or people that keep me motivated, I kinda really do because of what Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.”

Usually I just act like a dorky spaz. Which is normal for me but its either that or lose my mimd.
And now that I know they're screwing us on our holiday pay its even harder to keep on track. Cuz feck thoze douchebagz.Super difficult at times but I'm a Methodist so I am pretty good at zeroing in on the task at hand. For those not of the same cloth I suggest Chinese Red Pannex Ginsing in those little vials you drink with a tiny straw Amazon or Ebay has them and I highly recommend it cause it keeps you super focused while giving a little boost but is still healthy and holistic as I do with my sacrament. If I remember right it's like $20 a box of 20 or something In fact I should start back myself. by the way the accent thing is fucking hilarious after my divorce a number years ago I was sleeping with this gal and I would just start carrying on and on in a British accent to her before sex, during, after made for fun foreplay. 👌
I've always liked working and what I do. That's motivation enough. Every now and then there are days that I don't feel like going to work, but for the most part I enjoy going to work. I go there and work because I like doing it. If I didn't like it I'd quit - in the past that usually happened within a few days to a month.
Going back on ADHD medication because my ADHD symptoms were spiraling. Lol.
The stress of my job was starting to make me feel completely overstimulated, leading me to not be able to regulate myself mentally or emotionally, and I couldn’t focus on anything any more. It happens 🤷🏼♀️I read books to increase my concentration time. And then I use this increased concentration time to get my work done.
I use separate google accounts to not mix the entertainment with my studies.
Since I use YT for both entertainment and studies (90%), I need to stay focussed on my studies with no entertainment involvement.
Haha! This is brilliant! I am horrible with accents because I can’t control them all the time. So like I have a good amount of friends from Oklahoma and Tennesse but every time I am with them I find myself talking like them. It annoys the crap out of me! 😂 and as for me I usually listen to music or an audio book. Today I am just all over the place because you made me horny… 😂🤷♂️🥴
I'm part Irish but I canna do the Celt accent.
Ironically, I can do Ralph Fiennes (M) and could have it down in a month of living there.
And living in Tennessee, I can do the Tennessee rogue: "Y'all drive cyafuh now, heah?" on the level of Rod Steiger in In The Heat Of the Night. It probably comes from my steady diet of Willie Nelson and Hank Jr. on the karaoke.I do an hour on and a hour off. I get so bored if I take breaks like I'm suppose to. Luckily there are to many people to keep tabs on so I can get away with it. It helps I have a partner in crime who covers for me (and vise versa) so nothing implodes while on break.
Motivation isn't a problem. I wouldn't do it for free, but it cracks me up how much I get paid to do what I love. If there are distractions, noise-cancelling headphones and/or music block it out.
Watch porn on my other laptop until I get a hard on. Then I switch back to my work laptop to de harden and get some work done lol.
I always have both the laptops in my desk and I keep my doors closed until someone at home calls me for something.It took me a while to train myself but when I found myself thinking of sex, football I'd tell myself to stop and focus and my concentration got better and better.
Haha! I gotta see if I can get away with an accent at my next job and then just drop it on the last day. Which ones can you do well?
Also I just motivate myself with negativity by saying "it's either this or waiting tables"Depends how horrible the day is.
If I'm annoyed with the people, I use a Rubik's cube. If it's not that terrible, I open another taskbar and search for a potential house to buy ( even tho that's not gonna happen anytime soon).Oh, now i want to hear the different accents you can do! 😂
I don't like listening to music while working. I have "PTSD" hearing some songs again that i was forced to listen to all day at work years ago lol.
When i was workin somewhere i didn't really like, i just told myself to think of the money i'll get lol.
I try to pay even more attention to every minute detail. It oddly helps me focus. Or I just don’t bother and let myself do whatever the fudge I want
Usually have my noise cancelling ear buds in and have music playing on Spotify or listening to Creepypastas
Use my phone, find a coworker to talk to, relax comfortably for some time. Text, call, eat snacks, social media.
My motivation is personal sarcasm.
My focus: if I'm sloppy with my (engineering related) work: someone may die as a result.
Thanks to Gag or else I’ll lose my mind 🙄.
Think of lunch, think or home. Think of my payslip.
