5.12: Motivation
I have no idea what to write about tonight. No motivation to put words to screen.
Yesterday, I found all sorts of things to reorganize and sort and discard. I was interrupted by the needs to feed my kids and entertain the boy. Today, when I finally had the time to get back to it, I had lost my motivation and just sat there staring at all the stuff.
I have two big boxes of stuff to donate to a charity that will go to the trouble of picking it up at my front door. I need to sort through it all and itemize it and it's been waiting for months for me to get motivated to do it.
I have three years worth of photo books to pick pictures for, a year's worth of updates to our family website to sort, and more photos to sort and tag just to catch up. And yet I spend my "free" time while Owen naps doing puzzles online, catching up on blogs and making sure the DVR doesn't overflow. No motivation.
I have tons of possible crafts, thousands of square feet of house that are never all clean at the same time, technology that I would like to get caught up with and exercises to perform to keep gravity, bad genes and my love of chocolate at bay. And I have no excuses for the lack of motivation I feel, even towards things I enjoy.
How can I get it back?
