[Hivemind] Snow falling on Computer Towers while Neon Lights Blink Away

OKay..I have a question... How do you all motivate your self's to do things you dont want to do?

Heck, I have enough trouble motivating myself to do the things I *do* want to do.

I wait until the last minute then accept the fact that it has to get done and do it.

Nagging from others sometimes works. It's a war between a desire to spite the nagging person and a desire to make them go away and stop nagging.

Welcome Orchid. Is that your 'real' name? Its great that your here. My husband barely lurks on enworld, let alone the hive. He's weird though....

I'm not very good at that either. The best thing I've found is to not look at the whole thing. Don't think "I have to clean the house," think "I'm going to get the bookshelf cleaned." Once I get started I often keep going.

I haven't been good at exercising. But that seems to work best the same way. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow. Just do it today, worry about tomorrow when it becomes today.

Lazy AND can't decide what he really wants.

I know I don't want to work on Star Wars right now!

I hate nagging. I despise it. I have a immature mental problem where if I get nagged it just causes me to put it off more just to spite the person nagging me. I usually work the same way. Its worse now that i have kids. I love to hang out with the kids. Playing games and making cookies for and with them. I wish we were independantly wealthy, I would just do that all day.

Thanks for the welcome Ash. Sadly, orchid is not my real name. I'm just plain Lori in real life.

Orchid blossom is an obscure Knights of the Dinner table reference. I started using it for email because people who didn't get reference just thought it was pretty.

 

[ASH]

Well, I think Lori is great too. My name is not Ash either, or Ashley. Its Amanda. Buy my initials before I got married were ash and my husband started calling me that as a term of endearment.
