When ever I argue with my husband, and he says he loves me… I add that he only loves me on Tuesdays. Why tuesdays? Who knows! But… today is Tuesday. Sadly there isn’t much lovin’ as he is working and getting ready to fly to DC tomorrow, while I am trying to finish the last page of this stupid paper. I only have one more page to go… but I am really kind of unmotivated. Maybe a nap would do me some good?
Tell me, how do you get motivated to do things you… really don’t like? huh? I’m all ears!

I’m all for a nap! I think I might take one right now. I feel crummy today.
As for getting motivated, I figure the sooner I get it done the less I’ll have to keep thinking about getting it done.

Depends on what I’m doing, but music helps me get motivated and focused.

Music helps me too – so does coffee! Sometimes I reward myself with a nice latte at Starbucks or even better, a small cafe. If I’m doing studying, often I focus better actually doing the work AT the cafe!
The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment after the job is done is wonderful – I remind myself of that when I’m in the middle of things. Good Luck!

Popped in from SITS! I offer myself a reward…like if I do this, I can have this.

i turned in my final paper on monday and took my last exam for the semester tonight. i was totally unmotivated. to regain motivation–i remind myself how much i’m spending on this degree. that usually helps (and about gives me a stroke). i’m so glad this week is over.
