How Do You Motivate?

it doesn't sound like you have lol. -worked all day, i mean! :) i'd get fired so fast if i got on here at work...must be nice!

i would have a little caffeine and shake it off. you're not tired, you've been bored all day. there's a difference. it just feels like you're tired. you'll get your S. wind. just get moving.

usually when i hit the door i'm already in mom/wife mode, it's like my brain shifts gears. doesn't matter what kind of day i had at work (usually, except for the completely crushing, exhausting one i had today, with a cold coming on), normally i am fine as soon as i walk out the door.

On my "office" days - I limit myself to 20 min of housework.

20 minutes is easy - my mind doesn't even object because 20 minutes just isn't that long.

But I am constantly amazed by 2 things -

1) how much I can get done in 20 (unload/reload dishwasher, put in a load of laundry, turn on the roomba to vacuum a room, fold a load of laundry, pick up toys, check MP)

2) how often 20 min will stretch to 30ish without my "de-motivator" kicking in.

Plus that leaves my weekends pretty open for fun stuff. :)

ORRRRRRRRRR.....take the night off and tell the dude to play/bath and put the kid(s) to bed. :)

Turn. Off. The. Computer.

definatley coffee ..lots of it
