How to get myslef motivated?

• Ok so I have very serious probles with getting myslef motivated. When my alarm clock rings in the morning, I won`t get up. I stay in bed and end up sleeping in. I also can`t get motivated to clean my room (I have gotten better). My room isn`t extremly messy but could use some tidying up. Also, I can NEVER get motivated to practice my trumpet. I end up leaving practice until the last day and then I have to do 80 minutes of practice in one day. Any tips on how I can improve?? (Especially in waking up and practicing) Thanks!!

• Answer:

  Set two alarm clocks, the really annoying ones that keep on ringing, and put them across the room so that you have to get up out of bed to turn them off. Set them 10 minutes apart. As for trumpet practice, you're procrastinating. A lot of us are guilty of that. Set a time each day that you MUST practice and then stick to it. No matter what else happens start practicing at that same time every day. In your room, start small and break it up a little. I force myself to get up during every commercial and do something, this commercial-run the vaccuum, next commercial- dust; next commercial- straighten the daybed, etc...something every time a commercial is on. Or every time a song changes, or before I can make that phonecall, whatever works for you...do one thing at a time and soon it''s all done and looking good.
