Testosterone and motivation

Or you can just designate 8-12 hours a day and work.

Watching movies to be more productive? What drugs are you on

All the watching the movies is going to do is maybe give some a motivation for a short while,and then they will crash and need something else to motivate them and keep repeating the process.

Productivity can only be increased by streamlining everything and increasing hardware and networking capability.

I'd say high levels of testosterone and IM don't mix well. Most of the time in IM you need patience, not a raging boner or need to fist fight your clients/customers.

If you're having a problem concentrating for longer periods of time on things you don't enjoy as much, then I can recommend you mindfulness meditation. There's no superstitous nonsense you have to believe for that, and it helped me a great deal to enjoy things I usually don't like.

After all, if you can just sit there and concentrate on nothing but your bodily sensations and breathing, then doing IM becomes quite appealing!

One more thing that might help... when I get the urge to procrastinate, or otherwise not work, I try to see this urge as merely an object appearing in concousness. I don't make it to be "me", but rather a thing that I can evaluate. Once you evaluate it logically, you can discard it as something that isn't a good idea for now.

I hope that makes sense.

You need euphoria my friend.

I would say Mozart, helps me to concentrate

ill give you a formula to working harder and being succesful.

1. Drink tons of water
2. Exercise 5 days a week
3. Meditate every day
4. Read every day ( a real book)
5. Eat well
6. Get a good nights sleep

You will be happier, harder working, and more succesful within a month or 2, trust me. I could say other things that have worked for me too, like keeping a journal and scheduling your day into blocks. But start with 1-6, trust me.
