So, today I find myself strangely unmotivated. I was so happy to have today to do some things around the house that had been nagging at me and now; with that time available; I want to do nothing. The thing about doing nothing is that it carries with it regrets. When the motivation returns I'll look around and say "Why didn't I do that?" Sigh.
So, this is my plan and it usually works for me when I don't FEEL like doing something I should.
I will go get dressed. (shamefully I am NOT dressed appropriately for my day) Then I'll put a load of laundry in to wash and I'll set the timer. With the timer safely set to remind me; I'll pick up and tidy the kitchen from the morning's wear and tear and I'll start the dishwasher. Then I'll allow myself a fifteen minute reward time and play on my computer or read or turn on the news. By the time that break is up, the timer will be beeping and I'll move the laundry and start that routine all over again. The key for me on a day like this is to not be distracted by things that pop into my mind that I want to do. Things like a phone call to a friend or deciding to bake. Today though, I have to bake.
This usually works, for me; I hope if you have taken the time to read this, that it will inspire you to try it on one of your unmotivated days.
