You will rip through it in three hours, tops. But you’ll wish it went on longer, because it’s funny and smart as hell. - Bill Gates
Most people can motivate themselves to do things simply by knowing that those things need to be done. But not me. For me, motivation is this horrible, scary game where I try to make myself do something while I actively avoid doing it. If I win, I have to do something I don't want to do. And if I lose, I'm one step closer to ruining my entire life. And I never know whether I'm going to win or lose until the last second.
— Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half
