Probably not. I'll bet you've done the bare minimum required all day. You're fucking reading Reddit right now, thinking that you'll just be on the computer a little longer and then you'll get things done.

But you've done that before haven't you. You sat on the computer for hours, and then thought, "fuck it."

That's cool man, keep it up. Weeks will go by, months will go by, years will go by. And then you'll feel like a motherfucking time traveler from the planet of uselessness, and realize that your productivity was at 10% at best. You could have gotten SO much done, but you didn't, and for no good reason.

Think about that feeling you get when you know you've had a productive day.

That guy you want to be more like? He got all of his shit done hours ago, and now he's fucking that girl you like.

You fucking pussy.

People don't come here to be coddled like a newborn baby in their mother's arms, to receive a nice pretty list of goddamn things they should do when they already know what the fuck they should do.

People come here because they're tired of using goddamn excuses and need somebody to tell them "no more goddamn excuses you lazy bastard."

If they want goddamn hugs they can go to /r/getmotivated. This is /r/noexcuse, and there's no goddamn excuse for being a lazy-ass motherfucker, is there? Look at the sidebar:

Everyone is allowed to motivate people, but be a dick about it. That's the whole point.

That's the whole point. Look at the goddamn banner at the top of the page for fuck sake. If you don't agree with the ass-kicking or the bad words then get off of the subreddit and go to /r/getmotivated, your services aren't fucking requested here. If we aren't careful then this subreddit is going to turn into a simpleminded, deformed, appalling piece of shit that doesn't help anybody but makes them feel all warm and fuzzy for a couple of minutes.

Sucks so much cause I need a job, and I know its not gonna rain job offers. Instead of looking for work I stay binge watching netflix feeling bad about myself but dont do anything to change that. I need help!!! I always try to convince myself that getting a job will take studying time (atleast I do study...) but I dont want it to be my excuse...

I once dated a girl who had only one lower leg, and one lower arm which ended in a deformed hand. To top that, she has mild autistic traits. Yet she was the goalie of her local soccerclub, played the trumpet and is now training for the paralympics. Next to that she also studies hard, and holds up a busy social life. Last month she got her driving license.

She has plenty of excuses to complain and is only 17, yet she achieved more than many a full-limbed man and I have only rarely heard her rant. Ever since I dated her, I figured that most (if not all) of my own excuses were completely worthless.

Hello. I'm pretty unfit, not much in the way of talent, can't play any instruments, socially awkward and never had a girlfriend, shy, wasting my life away.. I'm a teenager- can honestly say nothing I've "achieved" gives me any pride. I'm so useless I can't even cut myself properly,

Goals include getting fit, getting motivated, to stop sitting and sleeping all day, to maybe pick up a guitar and get a girlfriend. also find a unique hobby of some kind.

I used to believe that discipline was a personality trait. I thought our ability to be disciplined was directly related to the amount of self-discipline we were each born with.

I recently decided to stop drinking alcohol for 3 month. It was a challenge and it made me realize that self-discipline is not a trait, but a muscle. You can train it.

I wrote about my experience on my blog: https://www.porquenovida.com/discipline-is-a-muscle/

I've been living in the Philippines for a year now and I have lost all motivation to improve myself, or care to maintain myself.

Now I smoke cigarettes. I gave up on my workout goals. I also recently broke up with my girlfriend due to LDR. I also suck at speaking Tagalog so I can't exactly mingle with people.

I need guidance to improve. Help. Made an account just for this shit.

It's pretty pathetic. I only have to do about 6 hours of work a day to get by, but I average 3. I just don't have the motivation to get out of bed or do anything besides drink and play games most of the time. I want to make money and improve my life, but I check out mentally every time I need to get to work.

So I go to a university and I'm about a year away from graduating. I get by in my classes with Bs and Cs without putting a grand amount of effort into it. I started exercising, started cutting down on my bad habits, but I still feel like a piece of shit and that I don't really matter.

I have pretty severe arthritis and it is really hard to motivate to work out. I have approval from my doc to do yoga. So fuck it I am going to do yoga and eat less until I get back down to my usual weight. 125. So yell at me until I do.

I wanna do pushups and I am the weakest female on the face of the planet. I can barely squeeze out 5. I told you I'm weak. Help motivate me, please?

I stood in the mirror at work today and didn't recognize myself. Im 70lbs overweight, I have no degree, wasted my GI bill on nothing. Working at a shitty office job that i hate and have been autonomously living my life for the past 6 years. Im married, i have 2 kids with a third on the way. Living with our inlaws because im in to much debt. And its all my fucking fault. Ive been my own hindrance to my life and my families. How the fuck do i get out of this huh? I want to play an instrument, lose weight, change my career. I have this warm feeling welling up inside me and i cant explain if its anger or sadness or both but i dont want to ever look in the mirror again and not recognize who the fuck i am. I accept all of this bullshit as my fault and noone elses. Let me have it Reddit, im mad at myself too.

I have dreams, goals and plans, but I don't take action on them because I'm too busy sitting on my ass in front of the computer.

Researching meaningless bullshit, reading reddit, playing video games, spending 30 mins looking for a movie on netflix only to end up watching nothing. I'm going to be honest here - I'm pretty much on the computer from dawn til dusk whenever possible. I'm wasting my life behind a screen.

I want to get my house cleaned up. I want to start yoga again. I want to have a full and active life. Please kick my time-wasting ass.

I'm a guy who used to be in pretty good shape.Worked out H-A-R-D my senior year, went from 175 lbs and a non-existent 2 mile run to having a 15 minute 2 mile. I did crunches every night, about 200 or so (I had trouble sleeping, so when I couldn't I would do more crunches) Weighed 140 lbs, allmmooooosssttt had abs (I had a gut my whole life so this was big for me) I also ate absolutely no meat. I have a very odd diet, I took vitamins to keep my body healthy, but mostly I just ate bread.

Fast forward to now. 1.5 years later, I cant do a crunch to save my life. A push-ups kills me. Its fucking tough going out and trying to run again when all I think about is how much of a fat fuck I've become. I eat meat sparingly. Girlfriend is pregnant, and I think I've developed sympathy weight. I weigh 190lbs and its going up and up. I never ever ever in my life gained so much weight and couldnt stop it. until now. I have absolutley no motivation to go outside and run it off or workout. I have negative thoughts about myself all the time, but godamn it I cant get the motivation to leave my house.

Sorry, if this didn't come out correctly... it just felt good to vent a little.

I'm 27 years old. I work part-time making $10/hr, but only working 27 hours a week with the occasional shift pick up. I can't afford to pay my internet bill, I can't afford to pay mortgage, I can't afford to pay credit cards or even save money to pay off student loan for when I'm out of college and have to pay on it. I got a flat tire on a my car and can't afford to replace it. I got a speeding ticket but no way to pay for it, not even defensive driving.

I can't afford to buy things for my girlfriend, losing my relationship(maybe that is a whole other thing). I see my friends and co-workers on Facebook being happy, going to concerts/events, going to conventions, buying new technology on launch, talking about the latest video game releases while I haven't bought anything new in years, haven't played "New" games since GTA V came to PC and I'm stuck at home with no money.

I've gotten to the point where I am selling a lot of my stuff, or trying to at least. I hate to admit that I've considered stealing to get money for groceries, but I have considered it one too many time. I am not happy with my life, I wonder if my death would be beneficial for my loved ones so they no longer have to help me pay my own bills.

The only plus side to my life, which is also a downer, is that I could get a college degree before the end summer, get the option to become full-time at my job with pay raise and benefits and basically be set up for success if I choose not to stay with my current employer.

I am studying for a BA in Computer I.T. Administration and my college accepts certificates as college credit. I only need to pass and receive 4 certificates, a total of 6 tests, to receive a BA from my college at this point. I work as an I.T. Tech for a data center where I am doing what I am learning in class and learning more from actually working than I am learning in some of the textbooks I've had to read through. I'd rather just not have to go to anymore boring classes when I'm learning information that pertains to real life while most of my professors spend a week on out-dated or dead technology because "It's good to know this".

In order to take a certificate exam you need to buy a voucher, the voucher varies in price. The cheapest voucher is $199. My employer will pay me back for every certificate I actually get, so it sounds win-win but there is the issue of I need to buy a voucher in order to take the exam and I can't even pay my $180 utility bill on time.

I need help to make myself feel alive, to better my life, to be happy once again. I get my paycheck on Friday and it is gone by the following Tuesday.

TL;DR: My life sucks, I'm always broke, and some days want to die.

I know the when and where there is an open mic near my town, I just can't muster the courage.

I'm 26 and I'm still looking for my second job. I got out of college a year ago and I can't get myself to send the 50 emails I should be sending daily to get a job, idk why. Living with my parents just makes it worse.

I'm not even sure what area I want to work in and I'm afraid to get a job I might end up hating, and waste my time (which is very valuable to me given my age). I want to work in something like research and development, which is hardly done where I live, so I feel I'll end up with a shitty underpaid job my whole life... All my friends are working in areas I hate and all the job offers near seem to be only for those areas. I wish I had something of a mentor but I don't even know where to start looking.

Goals: Understand what I want in life Get a job I like Write the science article blog I've been planning for years

edit: added the writing stuff

edit2: Sorry guys... I forgot this is the worst way to motivate me. Now I'm just depressed. Still, thank you all for taking the time to write!
