How do I find motivation?

I've been doing nofap for 3 and a half weeks, and I've managed to stay away from PMO despite urges and triggers. I decided to start this journey for multiple reasons, one of which was to stop wasting time on PMO and get some work done, I had a school project to do over summer. I did a fair amount of work on the project and was proud, but I've still got a bit to do and I've lost nearly all motivation to finish it. I've also lost motivation to do pretty much anything, and I don't know why. Its as if I'm bored just to exist.

This project is due very soon, and I am back to school so I've got a load of other stuff to do. I need to find the motivation to do these things else I'm going to be in a very sticky situation. That's why I was wondering, what do people do to motivate themselves and stay motivated? Thanks!

 

Thanks a lot for your response. I do have a teacher who is helping me with this project 1-on-1, and I do feel immense accountability to her. I've found that knowing this has only made things worse, I've been stressing out over how I'm going to tell her I'm behind. Today, however, I spoke to her briefly in the corridor, she said that everything is fine and to have a meeting with her so I should be able to get back on track. That being said, as soon as I got home today I felt the same mental blockade, even though I know I need to do this. I'll try and talk to her more though, thanks again for your suggestion.

 

Thanks! This is a really cool and simple idea that I must try out. In a way, that's how nofap works. I've had good days and days full of urges to watch P, but all that I have focused on is not resetting that number below to 0. In other words, not breaking the chain! I'm going to try put some things into effect immediately, pushups, meditation etc. Hopefully that will help me a lot.

Also, I don't normally correct peoples' grammar out of fear of coming across as rude, but since you asked I must say, your grammar is pretty much spot on. You've got a couple words in there that aren't wrong, just a bit redundant and odd, in my opinion. For example, I would say 'study this problem' instead of 'study about this problem', even though I think both are correct. The other thing that jumps out is 'More practically', which again isn't wrong just a bit odd. I would've said 'I found this strategy works well' or something along those lines. I hope that helps a bit, thanks again for your suggestion!
