I could. But I’ve been forfeiting the oculus to write or work on my website. Can only do one thing at a time. So maybe can use that as a reward.

I get tired after working six days in a row. On Sundays, I sleep in late. I woke up late today and got ready for my student who cancelled. But, I went out for food shopping then returned and cleaned the apartment, now am doing my wash. I have never worked this hard before. For some reason, I like being alone and doing my chores. I also like working and have to work to pay my bills. I am focusing on my work these days. I feel good about my work and am happy! I teach so it is not too hard to do. However, I have much prep work to do for my classes, and this eats up most of my time outside of classes. I like teaching though so am really grateful for my job! I am motivated because I like my job and my life now! I could not be better!!

Got the rest of my grocery shopping done. Now my cabinets, fridge/freezer are fully stocked so I don't have to worry about that for awhile. Was gonna do laundry but it's the weekend and hard to get a washer in the laundry room, so I can probably do it tomorrow.

I've gotta go to the family dollar to get some household essentials and also some cat food and litter this coming week. I'll bring my cart so it's easier to walk home with the stuff.

I'll probably be cleaning my bathroom later. And I'll have to wash the dishes.

Got up today, took a shower, brushed my teeth, ate a healthy breakfast, got the laundry in the washer, and took the trash out. The rest of the trash (boxes from orders) will have to wait a bit because the dumpsters are full so once the trash gets picked up I can toss those out too.

I struggle with motivation so I try to make things a routine. It's easier for me to do them if it is my routine. Like every night after dinner I read the Bible. When I come to work I do my work first and then get online to PC or whatever, but that way my tasks are done first. I'm less motivated about stuff like cleaning my room. My Mom keeps nagging me about it but it really doesn't bother me. It's not dirty, I just have a lot of stuff and no where to put it.

I'm not too motivated lately. I did change my sheets on my bed yesterday and got my car washed and spent about 20 minutes in my room cleaning/picking things up.

I am horribly unmotivated for work. I guess maybe I'll just quit at this point. I am trying to start my own business anyway. I am motivated for most other things.

A bit motivated this past day. It’s midnight now. But I slept a lot today and went out to eat with future family. Then one them thought I was nervous to eat but i wasn’t it’s cuz I ate a whole bunch of donuts earlier for breakfast. We went to chili’s and I had only chips and salsa. Told the family friends dad “thank you”. It was like 20 or 25 of us. Mostly kids or half kids, and then us adults.

They invited me to the lake beach for another time. So ima go another time, with them.

Finished my book. Just putting finishing touches on. Then gotta upload it into the interwebz. Applied for a job. Some other stuff, too.

So far I’ve had a decent amount of motivation but not enough. I have to take breaks between stuff too.

My motivation is a little better. I painted yesterday. I cleaned the bathtub a couple of days ago. I'm getting some stuff done. Mostly I am just making myself do them.

Motivation is better today than it was the past few days. I actually got up, cooked breakfast, took a shower, brushed my teeth, did dishes, and went to the grocery store.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my therapist. Might talk to her about the lack of motivation lately.

Thursday's goals are to:
-Take a walk
-Make my bed
-Vacuum
-Clean kitchen

Was really unmotivated to get a shower today but I forced myself to because I was coming to work. I can't say that it made me feel better but I probably look better.
