At the end of third year, I was a credit to the strange breed that is the final year law student. I could work all hours of the day, spurn meals without notice and type until my hand cramped up. My crowning glory was 30 hours straight work, at which point I handed in my essay. Then I went to the pub.
Now however, I just feel at a loss. I have lost my drive; for nearly two whole weeks now I have almost completely failed to work. Instead I procrastinate, surrounded by an ever increasingly large pile of washing and general detritus.
I have lost my fire! I need something to bring it back.
Scotch, anyone?
Sounds like you need more FEAR! That's the primary reason for doing anything isn't it? W
ReplyDeleteHa, yes there is that. The fear is certainly one of my greatest motivators. I believe there is a great Calvin and Hobbes strip that sums it up perfectly:
ReplyDeleteCalvin : You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes : What mood is that?
Calvin : Last-minute panic.
Everyone gets to the stage where they feel they can't be bothered and do all the different odd jobs around the house. I only things I have ever found to get me more motivated are fear and tricking myself into fear - oh and having a spotless home and blocking myself from the router (as tidying and internet are my main sources of procrastination).
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment and suggest what to do, but to be honest, I can't be bothered.
ReplyDeleteI think I will join you in the Scotch.
