Lacking Motivation

Published by Kirsten at 6:07 pm under Blogaholic, Daily Life

Do you ever find that life gets in the way of blogging?  What am I talking about, of course you do!  We all have real lives out there that we need to be in.  But during the course of a normal day, my thoughts often turn towards blogging.  I don’t blog from work like I have been able to in past jobs, so my post quantity has gone down.  I do think about it, and I think of all the kinds of posts I could write and all the things I can do to find inspiration for awesome posts.  Then, this is the kicker.  I get home from work, eat dinner, and head upstairs to the computer to catch up on the interwebs while Mister plays his silly little game.  And that’s where I draw a complete blank.  I either spend so much time catching up on stuff and seeking out new things to read and keep me occupied, or I just sit down in front of the computer and watch my mind go bye-bye.

I do want to blog, and I keep thinking that when I’m inspired I’ll write a bunch of posts and future-date them, but that never happens.  Actually, there’s a lot of things I want to do - clean up my desk, create a filing system to merge the files that Mister and I have, organize my bookmarks, organize my photos, finish unpacking this house, etc, etc, etc.  I’m just too brain dead at the end of the day to do any of that.  I need to find motivation.  Where do I find that, especially after waking up at 5am after about 5hrs sleep (I need 8), working at least 8 hours, then fighting my way through the blast furnace like heat to come home?  I don’t know, but what I do know is that Mister and I will be leaving the house very shortly to go to our regular Thursday night outing, so I won’t be too motivated to do anything else tonight.

    I know. I just wish I knew how to stay motivated, because the zombie brain lasts a heck of a lot longer than the motivated brain!
