I am getting too lazy

I am getting too lazy and not doing much with my time. The last few days I have just been playing with our pup Zoe and doing the bare minimum online. I am just not interested to post anything or do any research for my articles. I am totally devoid of any motivation. I am trying to push myself forward and still there is no productive effort coming from my side. I wish I could kick myself on my behind and get me going. Do you have times like these?

I am not lazy but I am extremely tired. The last three months of the past years have been exhausting, I have not yet recovered.

@LadyDuckI It's sad when people we love die. This was exhausting. I understand why you are feeling so tired.

@LadyDuck That is emotionally and physically draining. Hope you are done with it already.

But I thought that is what life is all about. It prepares us to have another bout of activity.

@sofssu But compulsion then should not put you in that state. Something is wrong somewhere?

Yes I have days like that where I don't even feel like getting on, but if I'm not on I will be getting phone calls asking if I'm ok lol. I hope that it passes for you.

@hillhjill Thank goodness I don't have anyone asking me if I am okay. But I did do that to someone who didn't come online and guess what she really wasn't keeping well.

Yes I do have times like this and just can't get motivated to do anything. Then I kick myself when things pile up and I have to do extra to make up for the day or days when I was lazy

@Marilynda1225 With the amount of work to be done, catching up on the backlog seems even more stressful.

I definitely go through phases. A lot of it is to do with how busy my real life is. And it's often busy. I don't think it's something you can force. One day you'll wake up and your motivation will be back.

@sofssu I've always struggled with motivation. I think my big problem is that I get bored with stuff very easily so it doesn't take long for initial excitement to tail off into complete indifference.

I'm just the opposite. I'm trying so hard to be lazy, but there's so little time.

Oh yes, this happens to me too. Not just about online stuff, but getting things done period. In fact I have been lazy about a lot of things and let things go

@much2say Thankfully I don't do that with other chores. I guess the work load is getting to me. I just finished a big chunk of online work on Saturday. Maybe I need to take a break.

There are days that you need to stay off of line and have some fun for awhile. I stay off of line in the early mornings . I go for a walk and fix a nice breakfast for my husband and me. We do any chores that we have and just relax. That gives me the energy to get online in the afternoon and at night.
