motivate me to be a better worker

my review is coming up september. They are going to give me a raise and put me on salary. I would really like to do well this coming month, it is extremely hard to motivate myself to work hard because I already do. I work 10.5 to 11 hours on my feet all day, running. I barely get a half hour lunch break and most of the time when I do someone bitches that there isn't enough help. Its nice to be needed, but how the hell do I meet all these demands and still be a somewhat happy person?

you should be happy 'cause you're awesome. if you're already working hard don't let anything else stress you, it's only going to dampen your mood at work
shit though, 11 hours is a bitch. i used to do that 4 days a week in high stress environments.

just wear low-cut shirts.
seriously though - if you're already running around that much, take a second to slow down just a little and breathe. don't burn yourself out. it happens quick

depends on what you want in life, sprink. i've been digging in hard for the last half-decade, and it's paid dividends. it's a long slow and mentally taxing grind - but if you play it right and don't fuck it up with something like a criminal or civil charge, life can get easier. life has a shit ton of problems. life will ALWAYS throw that shit at you. relationship bullshit, family bullshit, social bullshit. but all that bullshit sucks so much worse when money is an issue.
so work hard, and get paid. and then use that money to treat yourself in all your off time

One thing that I've found many employers really appreciate is employees who don't complain about stuff. You don't really seem like that type, but just thought I'd throw that out there, having been a manager before.

Time management is key. You want to be working smart not fast. Also 10-11 hours is a lot . Gotta make sure you're maintaining with proper sleep and diet. And no meth n heroine 
The motivation to working is the alternative of not working and sinking again. You were posting about how stoked you were when you got your job back and all that. Don't run out of steam now! Just keep pushing through untill it becomes part of your routine.
And with work, more often then not if you turn up in time and manage your responsibilities then you're good. don't quit biatch

To the best of your ability, you might consider defining some objective goals in conjunction with your supervisor. Then, you should be spending those 11 days working toward said goals, not just doing busy work. Easier said than done, but its a start.

Utilize proper drugs.
Let's be honest here. It's undeniable fact that adderall, ritalin, cocaine can allow you to work more focused, think faster. However these drugs can lead to addiction which some people can't handle. boo hoo to you.
Everyone is unique and everyone should be treated that way.
For me I had a lack of motivation. Opiates, which cost me no more than $10 a day have turned me into an incredibly motivated person. I wouldn't have done half the things I have the past few years.which turned into me making 10 times what i was making.
do what makes you happy. and ignore those voices that say otherwise because things didn't turn out for them or someone they know.knew.

IMO - if this is the way you feel, i wouldn't be willing to sacrifice anymore. I've been there and it was a path to all sorts of terribleness.
Try and find a job where you are appreciated for "putting your best foot forward" each and everyday and prioritize work/life balance.
If you are hellset on staying - milk the position until the promotion and then stop giving a shit and ride the wave of more money/less work + less stress.

^^That, however don't do less than coworkers that have the same title as you/the person who's spot your taking.
Just do enough to get by, but expect animosity because they already know what you are capable of and may think you have more in the tank

You have to motivate yourself I mean do you really want the postition. I mean if you have it as a goal to do really well then you need to focus on that and achive it. I dont care about your feelings or whatever stupid crap your whining about. Jus do the fucking job. Theres always little things you can do to make things more efficent or make the day go by more smoothly. You have to be super on point so like yeh start doing jus a little bit of k like jus enough where it makes you super smart. get a ton of nuvigil
