The
Qualities of a Self-motivated Individual
Self-motivated individuals are much more likely to be more organized than others.
They
believe that when everything is organized well it will become easier for them
to complete tasks and eventually achieve their goals. They further believe that
staying organized helps them complete tasks according to priority, urgency and
importance.
Being
organized places a person in readiness to take advantage of opportunities when
they appear. Many opportunities are unable to be acted on due to alack of
preparedness. This leads to regret and in a circular fashion, can depress
self-motivation.
Self-motivated individuals are also known to have better time management skills.
For
a self-motivated person, time is money which means wasted time is also
tantamount to wasted money. It is even truer of time than money that it can
only be spent once, so should be spent wisely. Thus, self-motivated individuals make sure that less time is wasted and that
each hour that passes contributes to their ability to complete their tasks for
the day.
