Sources of Motivation

”It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish”

~ Samwise Gamgee in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings

There’s something about concentrating on completing just one form’s numbers that is so motivating. I’m so close now to the 1000 reps for my sword (weapon) form that it is motivating in itself. It also keeps me adding to the numbers for the other goals even though I know there is no chance of getting to the goal numbers by the end of the year of the Dragon. Maybe there’s a way to capitalize on that motivation for achieving more of, or all of, next year’s goals?
