What motivates you to get out of bed every morning?

1. my friends are at work & i hate my job but the pay is so good i’m making $600 more a check (from my last job) and it fulfills my spending impulses

2. Adderall.

3. Because I’ll get fired and then I won’t have money and then I won’t have a bed to get out of

4. I hate being broke more than I hate work.

5. Even if you hate your job, what good does staying in bed do?

6. A man’s gotta do what a man does, there’s just no choice

7. Usually my dog. I have about a 30 minute window between the time I’m supposed to be up and walking her and the time she will be howling at the door telling me it’s time to get the fuck up now.

8. Rather have money in my account. Or my gf is in the mood.

9. I’ve almost always enjoyed my jobs.

10. I hate my wife and kids being homeless more than I’d hate my job.

11. Work which equals money. I think most guys have probably thought about some kinda scenario in their head of how they would quit their job if they came into a large amount of money haha.

12. I’m in bed and it’s 2:30 pm. So … I dunno

13. The need to piss

14. Smoke a cig in the morning and then I’m good to do whatever has to be done. Plus staying in bed too long feels shitty, gotta shower and get refreshed.

15. Bed bugs

16. The need to poop.

17. God has provided me with the opportunity to breathe again n lay eyes on my child. 👌

    the possibility of discovering sumthing new.

18. The need to pee works like charm but I’ve managed to silence it a few times. Then kicks in the hunger. If that doesn’t work, the cat will do the trick.

    Actually, the cat is capable to be number one on the list if in the proper mood.

19. My job affords me a future that is likely out of reach for 90% of people in my age range. If I had to find another job, I fully expect my salary would get cut in half. I’m not even talking an extravagant lifestyle. I just mean a recently renovated small house with a fenced in yard, multiple dogs, two vacations a year, great health insurance, the ability to max a 401k every year, a new non-luxury car payment, a growing savings account, and the ability to pay my bills in full without any real concern of if I have enough money.

20. I really don’t know

21. The fact that my dog will shit in my bedroom if I don’t get up and take him out. And then I’m up so I may as well go about my day.

22. Feigning for a cigarette and ready to take my kratom. Also, work, obviously.

23. There’s stuff that won’t get done without me doing it.

24. A man gets up and works. A man gets up at the crack of dawn to provide for his family. If you don’t have a family yet wake up early to start preparing to start a family. A man grits his teeth and grinds through terrible jobs. We do it because we’re men. Warriors. Gatherers. Fighters. Hunters. Protectors.

25. I’m a single dad with 2 kids.

    I get out of bed early to enjoy a solitary cup of covfefe before they wake up.

26. Knowing that the world would be better without me

27. My pets gotta eat

28. Not dying in my sleep the night before

29. The toilet

30. The thought of living on the street and staying there.

31. That college degree🤧

32. I do it in my sleep, by rolling off the bed

33. Need to workout soon

34. my motorcycle. i need money to pay for gas and parts.

35. Knowing it’ll hurt to lay in my own feces for more than two days.

36. I don’t particularly enjoy my job, but I’m at a point where I get up from bed because I just do. I don’t really think about it, it’s so routine. Alarm wakes me up, I get up and do my morning routine and leave for work. I would say that I “wake up” properly around 2 hours into my workday, not because I’m tired or anything but because the first few hours of the morning are so similar from day to other that I’m on autopilot for them usually.

37. Money

38. Social interaction. I’m not much of a talker but i just like to have a group i can feel attached to
