Lately everything has been rushed.
I have been avoiding a lot of my overdue tasks and even though I do, I still feel the weight of it all falling down on me.
Create one major client website. Create two client blog designs. Finish this semester's homework. Get back to novel writing. Re-do my web design business. Venture out my fragrance business, Fragrance Essence.Write a MEANINGFUL blog post. Make a college choice. Organize my desktop files. Edit my personal calendar.
Okay so it's just a handful of tasks, then why am I so taken aback by them? Well, it gets a bit complicated.
I don't have the motivation I used to (or tried to have) to get things done. I lounge around in my night gown, get my butt off the couch for a completely non-healthy snack at Dunkin' Donuts and come back home to browse the interwebs as if I have no responsibilities.
During those "lounging-around" days I convince myself the work I have to do is a waste of time and then I find myself rushing at the very last minute to get things done.
Clearly, I need someone to force me to do these things. I need a hero.
Last night at literally 1:51 A.M. I believe I became my own hero.
I took down a piece of paper from my bulletin board and started to scribble random thoughts. I started by writing a few things I liked, jotted some ideas on what I'd like to do, and then I started creating new tasks that I was actually excited about doing. A simple creative spark is what we'll call it and it led me to writing up this blog post and thinking...all I really needed was a place to start.
Lesson here: being your own hero means getting out of your head and taking one small step towards your goals.

Do you get unmotivated often? Who/what is your hero?
