Today was a semi-productive day. By that I mean that I didn’t goof around as much as I did actual work, but at the same time none of my bigger projects got touched.

One of my good friends at work and I had lunch together today. We’ll call him Enrique Montoya (I know he likes that name 🙂 ). He has been having as much trouble concentrating on his job as I have. You’d think that we’d be able to provide support to each other and help each other get out of this rut, but, as it turns out, two wrongs don’t make a right. We are still at the bottom of our respective barrels.

There is so much to do, and yet so little motivation to do it. Whatever happened to my drive and ambition? I used to have some of that running through my veins. And now… now I can’t wait for the day to be over to go lounge on my (brand new!) couch at home while curling up to my husband for warmth. I guess it’s all reverted back to the bottom of Maslow’s pyramid of basic needs. Self-actualization is so far up the steep walls, that I’d rather just stay at ground level. So sad.

Do you have any tricks that help you become motivated? Any will help!
