How do you stay motivated?

"How do you stay motivated?"

Fear. Honestly, thinking about the positive things I will/could get by finishing something school-related has never worked on me. Not when I was 8 years old or 18 years old or 28. But really, emotionally feeling that I could be utterly screwing something up in my life permanently by not finishing, well, that gets me going. That gets me my third wind late at night or early in the morning when nothing else does. Negative? Absolutely. Does it work for me? More than anything else.
