If the reason you want to be more productive is superficial and has no higher purpose in your life, it will most likely stop motivating you and your productivity will quickly fall by the wayside.

You must take the time to consider what drives your desire for productivity. If you need money to support your family, then the love you feel for your family, a strong sense of duty and sheer determination could be your driving factors. Or maybe you find yourself in poverty and your drive is a desire to improve your situation and yourself.

You need to determine what drives you at a deeper level and understand why you are trying so hard. It is essential that you make sure you know what it is that you want to achieve. Only you know what drives you. Only you know what makes you get up early and work hard. Only you know why you need to be more productive. It doesn't matter what you tell other people. It doesn't even matter if it's true or not. You may tell people what they expect to hear, but it may not be your real reason. It does matter what you tell yourself.
