As you can tell I've been a little tooooooo lax lately with the blog etc even though the holidays are now officially over (the 6th was the 12th day of Christmas) so there really is NO excuse for being in slow mo- well except for the dang cold... It's freakin' freezing here in Arkansas.
This is NOT my question but someone on tv or something mentioned Bumf*ck Egypt and Dev had never heard it before and it got us wondering where/how that originated as the classic middle of no freakin' where place- any trivia buffs know the answer?
So my question is: How do you motivate yourself when you just want to hibernate or find things I *need* to do around the house (or play on Facebook) etc? We totally got off track due to family drama (which is NOT the kind of drama queens we are, tyvm) and the holidays and I am just not wanting to get back into the swing of things.
For me- I give myself permission to get by with the *if this doesn't get done we won't eat or have anything to wear* and set a deadline to get back into the swing of things. My deadline is Monday which- if I haven't gotten some reviews and giveaways and dropped some EC by then feel free to kick my butt.
The reason I don't just do them now and get over myself is that if I do whatever I do will be half-*ssed at best and that's not fair to anyone- better to wait until I can get myself into gear and give my best.

hmmm.I have been having a hard time with motivation myself...but yesterday I had a total girls day, so now I feel ready again!
I hear you! I have been so unmotivated lately. I just wrote a list last night of all the reviews and giveaways I need to get done and because I have been Mrs. Procrastinator I have a crapload. One thing that I am going to do to motivate myself is to start writing out to do lists every day. List in order of priority. My problem is that I know I have a ton of things to do but without visually seeing it laid out with a plan of action- I will just sit on my lazy ass and do nothing. Which is what I have done for the last few weeks so time to kick it up a notch! I also write things down in a calendar write next to my laptop so I can keep note of things in the future that need to get done too. Sorry for the super long comment ;)
I have had a hard time with this too LOL
I make a short list and get those things done so I feel good about myself...so shameful :)
I can relate to this with my running! Somedays I am so unmotivated but I talk to myself(in my head) and remind myself of why I am doing this and why it is important to me and also how much better I always feel when I am done.If that doesn't work I tell myself to stop being a slack a$$ and get with it and just Do it!!Always works but it's been a year and a half!
No matter what the task you will always feel better when it's accomplished!!
I have no idea how they came up with that. I should google.
I hope you do get motivated.
I have a hard time getting motivate to do the housework. I always seem to find something else I want to do instead. For me, I just have to force myself to do it.
