I’ve dabbled in many different time management and productivity techniques over the last few years as an entrepreneur - self-motivation is something I've wrestled with a lot if I don't have a strict deadline in place.

I think it's a retaliation against years of a boss standing over me - timesheets to fill in and unnecessary 'emergency' deadlines causing stress in the corporate world - but as much as those things strangled my freedom at the time, I must say, they ensured I got sh&t done.

Working for myself isn't always so easy...

It's not that I don't 'want' to work - I LOVE what I do - but it's more a matter of focus.
