I'm off work this week there's quite a bit I need to do.
How can I motivate myself?
I just know it will get to Sunday and I'll still be sat here in the same underwear, typing nonsense in various dark corners of the internet.
Such a conundrum. |

"If it is house work then invite someone over to your house for tea in Friday and that motivates us to do it "
It's funny you say that as the only time the place gets a 'proper' full clean is when I've got a woman coming over. |

Get in the shower now and put your best pants on.
Put clothes on over the top of best pants.
Brush your hair, clean your teeth and sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and write a list.
Put everything in order of priority, then tackle the list one thing at a time.
You may be able to multitask and get more than one thing done at a time.

Does your house need cleaning?
I'll volunteer to be a guest if it does. I won't check the high places for dust. Promise. |

I have so many lists I need lists for my lists.
I think it's because work is so crazy I just want to sit and no do/worry about anything. |

"Small chunks with a reward after.
Yeah, maybe I'm lacking the reward.
Plus, I have no self control and just reward myself whenever I want.
Shame yourself. "
I do. Every moment of the day. |

I know how easy it is to think "one more game, one more cup of tea, one more episode" to take your mind off the mundane stuff.
Imagine the sense of fulfilment you'll have when something is done. |

You can do it though.
Give yourself a mental slap and get up off of your arse.
Do it now, Lib. No sexy woman likes a slacker. |

What are the chores OP, maybe you can do them in blocks
All house chores one day
Garden the next
Visiting people the next…
Reward yourself with a meet at the weekend with a lucky lady
Or unlucky if you’ve forgotten to change the bedding |

I get you. Sometimes the amount of stuff need doing can be overwhelming no matter all the lists and the good advice. Do what you can, small wins. Simpler jobs first will get you a little bit more motivated, perhaps. Lots of us struggle to get all stuff done. I have peaks and troughs |

I know exactly where you’re coming from. We are on our family holiday now but I was off for 5 weeks before with so many good intentions. I achieved knack all except watching 6 seasons of black mirror

"So... yeah.
I did fuck all."
Go and do something now. Switch off your phone and go into the great outdoors for some fresh air. It'll do you good, I'm sure you'll feel so much better for doing something. |
