I should be doing laundry. I should be packing for my trip. I should be double checking everything and making sure I’m ready for NY.
What am I doing?
I’m sitting in front of the computer in my nightgown checking out the SDMB, playing Free Solitaire, and answering the occasional e-mail that comes in.
I KNOW I need to get these other things done, but… I just can’t see to get up and do it. When I went to Tampa for a week last month, I was ready over a week before hand. Now I’m waiting until the last minute. I don’t understand this. What is so different between the two trips?
I think I just need someone to kick me in the butt and say get to it.
I don’t know if this will work for you or not, but what seems to help me when I just can’t get motivated is to set a time to get motivated.
I may not particularly want to do a certain task right this second, so, I tell myself, “I’m going to do this in one hour/by 3:00/etc…” Then I know that I can goof off and be lazy or whatever until that specific time.
Simetra - That’s what I’ve been trying all morning!!! First it was “When I get up in the morning” then it was “In an hour” then “By 10”… Now I’ve decided that the time frame approach just isn’t going to work!
Ethilrist - Anything but that! I’m going! I’m going!
What are you doing reading this?!?! Shoo! You’re going to miss your plane!
Get a kitchen timer and set it for 20 minutes or whatever and when it goes off, you get the hell of the SDMB and close your solitaire game. You’re losing anyway.
Yeah. That’s it. I want to stay here and be berated and treated like a 16 year old for life. :rolleyes:
And I certainly don’t want to see you, spend time with you, find a job… jeez!
The laundry is being done. The packing is half way in progress. So I’m getting there. Really. I swear. Now I just have to hope I don’t forget anything. (Like the tickets. And finding an alternative ride b/c I don’t think my Dad is going to be able to drive me)
