Hi all

I am just getting started on creating a web site and sometimes my concentration drops when I have been spending a couple of hours writing articles to post on my site. I am mad keen about the topic and have some fab ideas I want to get out there. Any tips on ways to keep myself in the zone?

    my motivation comes from the fact that other people depend on me, like family i have to support.
    furthermore with all the money i make i do my best to make this world a better place in every little way a can, that is what motivates me.

    as for what to do to keep going if you are getting tired of the task at hand... take a small brake, i always go walking in nature and emptying my mind gets my motivation back, you can also switch to another task if 1 task is boring you, as long as you keep working towards your goals as much as possible, do whatever it takes!

    Find what you number one priority in life (For example you wife, your kids, you mom, father,etc) then when you get down, remember that you need to keep working hard, to give a better life to your family.

    I also search for video in youtube about motivation, i have a wallpaper in my pc with a motivation quote, find fb friend or skype that are positive and chat with their and finally i have this system call: Subliminar Blaster that post lines of motivation quote everyday in front of my pc and keep me motivate.

    I hope that this can help you!!

    Hey hope you got some motivations already through somewhere, i would like to share some of my tips..

    usually what i do is when i'm down i'll track myself clearly where to give a punch to boost my energy up and keep myself on the flow..

    If we wait for the motivation to show up, we won’t show up.
    go find the best best magazine websites and make a list, before adding it to the list you will rate it atleast more than 6 or 7 out of 10, that means the best stays on your list. go through them how its made? what made those sites best? whether the colours, images, typography, etc., get inspired,

    imagine and visualize your website with those effects and stuffs, writing articles is kool, but there's no point when there's full time production and no platform to show, keep a 50/50 time in the beginning. for some time period concentrate on other areas of the websites aswell..

    One of the first and still greatest books on the subject was Inner Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey from the '70's. Still as apt and relevant today as the day he wrote it.

    You might find his other books more informative though like the Inner Game of Music, The Inner Game of Work, or the Inner Game of Stress.

    It covers peak performance incredibly well.
