[quote=Anonymous]I've been in similar positions, and also found it hard to stay motivated. With external motivation, I can be a superstar, but without deadlines and a fast-paced environment, it's really hard for me to keep working to my potential. I've left a previous job for just that reason (not government though!). I'm sure I could have excelled there but it's just too easy for me to fall into an unproductive pattern -- and when I do, I end up unhappy with myself, my job, etc. Taking on additional responsibility helps, when it's possible, and trying to self-impose deadlines and other goals does too. For me though, I've learned that a dynamic work environment is essential to both my success and my happiness. Otherwise the temptation to join the slackers becomes too great...[/quote]
