Tomorrow I will go to school where I will learn new and exciting things. That is my motivation.

Got to get to class at 9…

But it’s linguistics and I love linguistics. It is something I am passionate about.

There’s always something I want to do during the day. The only days I just want to do nothing are when I’m sick or really nervous about something.

What about you, @astrakan?

I will need to urinate.

I just moved and finding a dentist is on my todo list in the morning. That is what will keep me from going back to bed after I pee.

I don’t need any motivation. When my eyes open up and I am not sleepy anymore, I get out of bed because it’s boring to just lie there, plus I have to go to the bathroom.

My family, my husband, and this baby in my belly that needs me. I will get out of bed for them for as long as I can.

Its my last quarter until I graduate college, I am too busy this quarter to blow of class and make up for it with a cram session.

Freedom! I am in my first week of retirement and truly have discretionary time. And I have so much to do!

Work @ 8am. It’s often hard to get up as I am a heavy dreamer in the morning. Most days I wish I could just wake up at my leisure with a special someone in my arms.

chicadelplaya's avatar

@Jeruba Congrats to you! :)

brinibear's avatar

Look for a job, that’s my motivation for right now

The possibility of sex. And that’s the truth. Period.

I haven’t mowed my lawn in almost 2 months. First, I need to assemble the new lawnmower. Then I will take a stab at mowing at least the front lawn so I don’t have as much work to do on my next day off, which is on Thursday. Luckily, things have cooled down considerably here in MD, and the weather should be perfect for yardwork :)

I have to pick up some
dear friends at the airport. Then I will come home and get back in!

The alarm clock.
Two kids that need to go to school.
Bills I need to pay.

MacBean's avatar

Gotta pee. That’s all. I doubt I’ll get out of bed for anything else. Maybe if my stomach growls enough, I’ll get up again to eat.

I’m pretty much passionate about it all. We walk the dogs first thing in the morning, that is always an adventure. I do my carving or painting or something exciting when we get home. I take the young dog for a run or a bike ride before lunch, then work in the afternoon. It’s not the most exciting routine, but it’s comfortable!

Roory's avatar

Nothing really, just the fact that I do not want to dissapoint my teachers n not show up !!

peedub's avatar

A happy ending to begin my day, followed by a bacon-wrapped, maple-covered doughnut.

oratio's avatar

I met a girl, so I won’t get out of bed easily.

veronasgirl's avatar

I have no motivation to get up in the morning. I just get up because I know I have to. If I don’t I fail my classes and I don’t graduate college and my life becomes an even bigger mess. If it wasn’t for that I would probably want to stay in bed all day.

erichw1504's avatar

I hope something good will, because I have a hard enough time getting out of bed in the morning as is.

Sarcasm's avatar

The need to pee, probably.
Also, the need to get to class on time.

Facade's avatar

The opportunity to have a latte. I like them… along with what @veronasgirl said.

Axemusica's avatar

I have no real motivation to get out of bed. This is one of the reasons why I’m trying to quit smoking and exercise more in hopes that I’ll not be exhausted in the morning and have more energy over all.

hug_of_war's avatar

Well I have to go to college since my parents take me so it’s not like I can just skip. I an none too pleased with my first class of the day but my 2nd class is definitely worth getting to class for.

Skippy's avatar

It’s Payday!

OpryLeigh's avatar

Tomorrow I don’t have to do much, I don’t have to go to work, I have no major chores that need doing so it will be my leisure day. The fact that I don’t have to do anything in particular is a good enough reason for me to get up tomorrow morning.

Also the fact that the dogs will get me up around 7am to go outside to use the little doggies room AKA the garden because I don’t want to end up with little accidents scattered around the house if I don’t get up on time. That’s motivation enough for me!!!

Jeruba's avatar

Thank you, @chicadelplaya. It’s early retirement, I hasten to add, spurred by a handsome incentive package offered by my employer. My career isn’t over, but my job is over.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

I have an exam worth 30% of my grade, and I need to turn it in on time. Blegh.

MacBean's avatar

I remembered that a Netflix movie was due to be delivered today. That motivated me enough to actually walk across the road to the mailbox. ...And then I watched the movie in bed.

Sarcasm's avatar

I lied. Today, the noisy trash truck in the neighborhood woke me up.
Tomorrow it’ll be pee. Promise!

La_chica_gomela's avatar

@MacBean: I want your life!

MacBean's avatar

@La_chica_gomela: I promise, you don’t. It’d be nice for maybe a month or so, as a vacation. But it gets really old really fast.

mcbealer's avatar

Well I totally slacked off yesterday and so now today I get to build the mower + mow the grass…
it’ll be a 4 hour project. what was I thinking?

wundayatta's avatar

The knowledge that my son will not get on the bus if I don’t walk him to the bus stop.

mcbealer's avatar

Tuesday = my Friday don’t hate, I worked all weekend and that alone will propel me outta bed because it has been a long, hard week, and I’m really looking forwards to some serious R & R time.
