How do you guys stay motivated?

How does one maintain their motivation to write? I always start a story and I'll get up to maybe three chapters and then I'll go on a really long hiatus and then I just can't write it anymore. I just don't have the motivation to continue. I've been told doing an outline really helps, but my mind is too scrambled to concentrate on organizing.

Do you guys have any tips on staying motivated or completing a story?
