No motivation at all--what do you do?

I maintain three blogs, but I'm finding more and more that I've got absolutely no motivation to write for one of these blogs. It's not a matter of being able to just close it up; I know that this specific blog is giving me some financial return and it's something that I do care about, both of which are a sort of motivation--just not enough to actually make me do the work. But when my "writing time" is increasingly during my lunch break, I find that I instead turn to the easy sites--like MyLot! :) When you have little or no motivation to write, how do you get yourself to complete what you should be working on?

Trust me, I know exactly how you feel! I have like 4-5 blogs though lol. I haven't been keeping the blog very active lately because of lack of motivation. I made a little schedual to help me with my time online and all my blogs are schedualed for one night a week. That is when I try and update them. I haven't been doing this though because I keep getting distracted by something else lol, but it was working for awhile.

I also had a schedule for mine for a while, but that fell by the wayside long ago. :)

This thing happened once in a blue moon especially if I'm very busy and doing many things. If I feel this way, I would spend time in a music lounge singing my heart out. Also, I'd like to talk and chat with someone I love.

Ah I'm actually going through that myself lately..There are a couple of things I SHOULD have been working in (writing and whatnot) the past couple weeks but i'm finding myself very distracted (many because of the beautiful weather finally being here)..Sooo that being said, I'm of no use to you whatsoever BUT when you figure it out could you please let me know so I can try it

well dont be too hard on yourself because that just makes you feel more frustrated! what you need to do is take a break. when i used to write full time from home, i used to go and chat with a friend or go put in some laundry or something, just to clear my head for minute or two.
