nudone:
the book is "The Motivated Mind by Dr. Raj Persaud" here's the links on the US version of amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Motivated-Mind-Raj-Persaud/dp/0593046951/ref=pd_bbs_2/102-0033273-0991350?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194197431&sr=1-2

here's the link for the UK amazon that has a few more comments than the US site

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0553813455/ref=s9_asin_title_1/202-7685211-5759814?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1RV5Z6072VV30RV5KW7A&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=139042191&pf_rd_i=468294

as you'll see (perhaps), it isn't a book on step by step motivation techniques - just a lot of findings from research. some of the comments on amazon are complaining about it not being a self help book but i would say this is exactly what gives it credibility.

my system. think of something that needs doing. now think of something else that needs doing that doesn't seem as bad as the first thing. do the second thing to take your mind of the first thing. repeat.-nudone (November 04, 2007, 03:08 AM)

you need to put yourself in an environment that will make it difficult for you to do the thing(s) you are wanting to avoid. maybe not very practical but it appears to be the successful way to achieve something.-nudone (November 04, 2007, 03:08 AM)

presume you mean
"you need to put yourself in an environment that will make it difficult for you to [avoid] do[ing] the thing(s) you are wanting to avoid"

or is it...?
I'm getting a bit twisted-up in my mind
or to rephrase:

put yourself in an environment where, (somehow), you cannot avoid doing the things you would like to avoid

Then the BIG question:
did he give any ideas there or did you have any?

PS looks like an interesting read all right

So did I, but it was bittersweet (struck a little bit too close to home...)  :P
