How do you motivate yourself?

I wouldnt call it motivating myself, but say for example I am not confronting doing a certain task because I find it overwhelming and I am just avoiding doing it, I tell myself “fix it”, “I am diligent”, “I work hard”, “I am responsible”, “I am accountable”, “I got this job because I asked the universe for it, and I wanted this so bad.” “The universe rewards me more of the things that I take care of.”

I think it boils down to not getting stuck in figuring out how to get out of “being lazy”, “being demotivated” and “having this problem”. Instead, just choose to embody your ideal self and be accountable of your own choices and responsibilities.

I realized that a lot of times, I am actually not “demotivated” but instead I am scared. And I realized I was actually not going out of my comfort zone. It’s been revolutionary knowing myself more.

Larger than the task being overwhelming or being lazy

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
