<human>: I've been following this sub for quite some time now, almost more then a year. I can recite numerous motivational quotes. I know how I want to be, how ever many variations of that there are. I know I can be motivated to do what I need to do. The problem is, I forget. I wake up in the morning, with a little bit of the motivation I had from the night before, and spend the day building it back up. I'm all talk and no play. 

This was supposed to be my easiest semester yet, I say that every time. Next calendar year was going to be big for me, and now I'm terrified that it's all going to fall through because of my laziness at the beginning of this semester. I joke that I'm going to spend 5+ years in college because I transferred. But, honestly, I'm scared shitless of it, and I don't know why. It will come to an end and I have my two paths lined up pretty well right now, or am beginning to get them in place. 

I tell myself everyday that today is going to be the last day that I'm lazy, every week I say I'm not going to miss a class. I look at motivational pictures, posters, and videos and none of it lasts.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: What are your best tricks to getting yourself motivated from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep and all of the downtime in between? I can't seem to get it to work.
