Can Working on Other People’s Schedule Help you get Your work done ?

I need Motivation Sometimes and I also need things to be done . When my Daughters boyfriend said We had use of a log splitter on Sunday I jumped at the chance . A few beers later and a gallon of gasoline We had two chords split and stacked . I had three beers, more than my daily allowance but I was happy with the work done. I also was working today on the wood for winter . The point is that even though I was working on somebody else s schedule  I was motivated much more than I was normally . Looking at that pile of four chords maybe five chord of wood next to my patio didn’t think I would get anything done on it before I needed it . I am more motivated to get the work done now than I had been all summer . Sometimes having other people s needs for getting some work done motivates Us further to get other work done and sometimes it can be in conjunction with our own work . I don’t think you should always do thing when other people want it done but it can be a way of getting you started on those projects you need to do .
