Motivation: Overcoming Procrastination

The difference between a poor developer and a great one is motivation. Software development involves innovation / inspiration and hard work. I have seen great minds wasted because of not enough motivation and I have seen developers becoming what no one could imagine because of good motivation.
I believe that, especially in the areas where human mind and inspiration is used at maximum such as software development, motivation has one of the most important roles. Motivation is where you find the power to do more, to exceed, to excel, to go over it, to invent… Motivation is what makes a difference. The ones that motivate themselves more will achieve more.
Motivation is not only personal but also collective. The most important one is personal: where you find your reasons, define your ideals and dare to try.
Here’s a brief suggestive article on how to overcome your tendencies of "putting tasks off to the last possible minute".
