This is my point of view.
Motivation is bullshit. It is some nice feeling that you have for that one hour and then is gone. It may help you when you feel down, but overall for me it's bullshit. I watched like zillion hours of motivation and never done shit. It gives you just a nice feeling. I was like in a cycle of smoking weed, drinking, not being productive... I felt bad because somewhereback in my mind I know I could make so much from my life.
I started writing down plans what to do at certain hour, what to implement in life, doing lists and shit. It was OK for a week or month... but then again FAIL. Looking back this all was good, because I started to know why and because of what did I fail.
You must not focus on chaning the old.. instead focus on building the new.
As someone above stated. Its all about habits. Pick one main habit, and other small ones. You can adjust that later (its where you are in life).
If you are broke, your main habit should be earning money. If you are alone, your main focus should be learn to pick up girls or making friends,.. hope you get my point.
You must know when you have most of the energy. I do in the morning. I wake up, take a notebook and imagine myself all the things I want to have and write down 10 goals in POSITIVE, PRESENT AND PERSONAL TENS. P
I wont go in detail because here is very good topic on this:

Dont make expectation on your work. Just start somewhere, even for 10 mins. Then add on as you progress.
Main habit - IM
Small habits - reading, meditation, workout,...
I rather die than skip my main habit. No matter how tired, sad, angry I am... If you feel bad, you must know that next day in the morning you will feel normal. I say this to my self all the time.
In someway I want to feel bad, couse I know that next day will be awesome when I wake up.
Sorry for grammar if there are any mistakes.
Take care guys
PS: watch what other people who hustle all the time do (owen cook aka tyler rsd, elliot hulse, gary vaynerchuk,.. and zillion others).
