Do you think the key to working harder is dreams of making money or a sense of accomplishment? What do you think?

@joanduarte That makes sense. Economic and time freedom are certainly important goals that can motivate us to work harder. For me, I find that a combination of both financial motivation and a sense of accomplishment helps drive me to work harder.
I have a high-paying remote job. But I am spending my nights and weekends building a product that solves the problem I believe is big and needs to be solved.
@manas_sharma So how does this affect your productivity and living conditions?
@oymen_baydin To be honest. I do get really tired and stressed sometimes, but I know it's also a phase. When you start something new, you have many hurdles - but things do settle down eventually. Currently, my goal is to launch the product I have been working on for a year and get it to revenue that matches my job salary.
Competition and an intense productive-rivalry with a colleague. Respectful competition helps people achieve wonders in most fields
@krishnaswamy_anand_ganesh Absolutely I agree. Even if it is not a first for me, it is a very important development method.
Sense accomplishment. Money is motivating only if you are not earning enough, it is one hygiene factor: https://www.simplypsychology.org...
for me, the mindset of surviving. work hard and work smart would really give us a smoother path to survive.
@rahelitaluki This is a very powerful thought. So, isn't it difficult to manage this strategy?
@oymen_baydin it is difficult, especially considering that I have to earn my own living for such a young age. ever thought of ending my life, but being able to survive for the day feels relieving.

Not a direct answer but still food for thought..

If you're like me, you have no motivation to get writing. You just sit at a blank page, knowing that you have to crank out a blog post, or a proposal, or a newsletter. Then, all of a sudden, you're struck with a good idea, and you start writing. You're excited and you write with passion.
The first thing that motivates me to work harder is setting goals. To achieve any goal, you need to work hard, but working hard without goal is like sailing a boat without a compass, you will never reach the destination.
Family, children, parents - I need to prove them wrong that I am only limited to what they know
