August 17, 2006: "lend a hand"
someone needs to tell me how to get work done. i almost wish i could lock myself in a room for a day, but then i wouldn't be able to go to the bathroom. unless i did work in the facilities, but... ?
so that's not really a wish anymore.
just a few words to show life, but i'd appreciate any advice anyway. words of encouragement welcomed.
like, "get off your ass, bitch, and do something useful!"
that's welcomed.
(PS: linking TFIMC: IV on ali's LJ, until i write up a page here. i can't even do droll web work that's ultimately senseless but still fun. darn.)

Hmm I'm not very good at motivation because I'm such a procrastinator. Gah I guess it's just better to get it done and over with. When I was in school I hated getting school work done. There was just so many more interesting things to do, lol. Wish I was more help!!
xo Jodie

hehe aww, I don't know how to get you to work, what kind of work do you need done? school work? When I feel totally uninspired to do anything, I make plans, like, a week from the day or so with something REALLY exciting, and then I set that as a goal, or treat, like 'if you finish all your work before that day you get to...' that's my big advice :D oh and I just realized what your domain name is! I've been saying grabadunk all the time but I see the duck now. that's funny :P

Connie, of course you can have the paper! But only if you get off your ass and get some work done! What work? I've got no idea.. I bet you've not done some important task that will ultimatly determine the fate of the world! Or... you've not done your summer reading...which in retrospect is much less exciting than determining the fate of the world.... yay world.

LOL. that was like what i wanted to say. no just the "get your ass off the chair and do some work!" :P good luck in doing your work and motivating yourself to do it haha.

When I have lots of stuff to get done that isn't exactly fun, I set myself up with a reward system and a timetable (not a ridiculously strict one, just something to keep track).
Like when I need to get accounts sorted (which isn't fun) I decided "Right, I'm going to do this on Monday afternoon, and then I'm going to spend Monday evening vegging out in front of a movie".
If I'm working on something on the computer, I reward myself with some online time when I finish each task, so I don't end up doing something that totally distracts me and makes it hard to go back to the work.
If I know I have something big and fun coming up at the weekend, like a party or a night out, I think of all the stuff I need to do that week and plan how to get it done before the weekend so I know I'll be able to totally relax and enjoy myself on Saturday night and then have a day of lazing around on Sunday before the week starts again.
I hope some of that was useful. I know different people have different ways of making themselves get stuff done, but those things always work for me.

why dont you give your self a set hour a day where you can do nothing else in that hour except work? thanks for the comment x

You should update us on school. When does it start for you? Dammit, I had registration today. Gir.

Just decide that you will work on something for half an hour, and you may be surprised to find you've already been at it for two hours, and are nearly finished.
Which would be doing as I say, not as I do. lol

Wow talk bout motivation. I guess you really need to think about what you want in life and go at it. Got to think about how you're going to get there and achieve all that you know? And yes DO get your ass up and do something because only YOU can help yourself while others can only meet you half way.
