I definitely identify with this. For me a huge motivating factor is the embarrassment of letting people down, so I need to put myself in situations where I'm accountable to other people. Otherwise I stagnate. When nobody is relying on me directly, I struggle to get anything done. When I have somebody waiting for me to finish a job on Wednesday and I'll look ridiculous if I don't deliver, suddenly I'm super motivated. Consequently I've learned to structure my work life/social life/general goals in such a way that I'm always accountable.
