Erika's Blog - Northern Connections

One of the things I find really hard to maintain is staying motivated on a project. I love the planning, goal setting, organization and the excitement generated looking forward to results. However, sometimes day-to-day duties zap your energy and your resolve to keep on track. I find that I constantly need to be reading a book to keep my mind geared up and in a learning mode. If I slack off, it is so easy to fall back and give up on the progress I have made so far. Being accountable to someone whose opinion you trust is a good way to stay the course. Belonging to forums on the internet is another way to keep the momentum going by being inspired by others' excitement. Small personal rewards for achieving a milestone works too.
