Motivation

What motivates a person? What keeps them motivated? When working on ongoing projects, how do you stay consistent when you are not motivated?

I don't know what is wrong with me. I have my good days and my bad. I actually started off pretty good today. I did my little Flylady routine and got the dishes caught up. I even started working on laundry. Since then, dinner dishes are still in the sink. Both the washer and dryer have stopped. I need to fix up the garage and never went out there, too hot.

I'm hoping that the motivated days balance out the not so motivated days. I know music helps me a lot, too. John still hasn't hooked up our stereo and it's probably a long time coming.

So, how to do you get motivated to get the things that you need to get done accomplished? I'm thinking it's some kind of secret formula.
