I've been wondering about better ways to keep motivation up. It seems off the bat motivation is great, and the further down the road you go, motivation starts to fall. I've seen vision boards, which I think is a great idea and am in the process of getting one done. I've seen people use photos of whatever, material, or family or even just a quick quote.

Motivation seems like such a simple thing to me, yet it's one of the hardest to keep up. Fired up one minute then rather passive another. I'll actually still be working towards my goal, but the will to get it done just fades.

Any tips, tricks that have worked well for you?
