Yes, I have had the same experience, although it always seems short-lived.
Perhaps it says more about the technique of consuming motivational self-help books, more than the techniques described inside.
Indeed, they're short-lived for me as well, added it to my comment. As per Sturgeon's law, most 'self-help' books are not very good, but just about any are a good refresher of some of the basics - like Focus on the goal or Make goals measurable, and track the progress etc.
In daily use, probably Getting things done has been the most influential for me - maybe because it's mostly about a number of useful techniques, rather than thinking too much about them.
And I've seen people who work on self-improvement say that the motivation needs to be refreshed and maintained, so reading (or rereading) self-help books might be a standard approach.
