I have a day off and am meant to be cleaning and tidying. Which I have been. Sort of.

But I’m lacking motivation. For that. For this site. For changing the tv channel or making myself a coffee.

What do you do to get your motivational mojo back? What can I do? And which celebrity voice are you reading this in in your head?

I tend to why I need to do something. Like if I'm not motivated to go to the gym, I think well I want to look better. Or do the washing up so I can eat food haha

I'm in exactly the same mindset as you! Day off today with a long list of chores to do, the only one of which I've actually done so far was laundry when I got out of bed to make a coffee. Can't even find anything on the TV or miriad of streaming services that are capturing my imagination, so I'm pondering a trip to the cinema in a bit to actually make me sit down and pay attention to 'something'.

I GIVE MYSELF A QUICK SWIFT KICK UP THE ARSE AND SAY GET ON WITH IT!

Admit it you wanted the site to allow a much bigger font.

Sometimes planning to do lots of things can be overwhelming or just unappealing. Start with one small thing, then another and soon you'll be on a roll.

Said in a very sensible Mary Berry voice.

It's Brian Blessed it needs to be bigger! I tried to read his autobiography once, I kept reading it in my head in his voice, I gave myself a right headache!

If this post was a baked good, it would be a croissant. Not much of it, but there are subtle layers without being heavy and none of the circularity a pain au raisin post might have indulged in. Very good.

I dont acknowledge "motivation" as a thing. It is a fickle beast. How many times have you said "I'm just not motivated..." And motivation gets used as a scapegoat why something doesn't get done.

I use discipline. If something needs to be done, it gets done. How I "feel" is broadly irrelevant. If I don't get "x" done, then that is all on me.

So what do I? Take personal responsibility to get the job/task done. It's a mindset that needs to be develop. To start with, think of the end result, and how that makes you/your life better/less worse.

Hope that helps, or at least, doesn't make things worse!

Yeah. That's me. On the sofa, hoping the will is going to find me instead.

Seeing as you asked. My internal monologue today, sounds like Greg Davies and it shouts, "Little Alex Horne!" Intermittently 🤣

How about putting your AirPods in your ears so you can lose yourself in the music but do what you have to do also 🤷🏻‍♀️

I offer no help. I have no motivation to do anything myself today.

I do my best work with a looming deadline.

I find inviting someone I don't know well to my house gives me all the motivation I need to clean.

I read your post in the voice of Blakey from 'On the Buses'

If my internal monologue sounded like Greg Davies I'd wank myself senseless constantly; I get why you don't get anything done.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Goddamn this missing motivation!

Hello Motivation, this is Glow Fandango, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you Glow Fandango

(Matt Berry voice 😍)

It’ll return when it’s ready. Maybe leave it a little treat somewhere to tempt it out.

I would never ever get anything done if all I heard was Matt Berry's voice, I would have to stop and listen to him 😍😍

🫶 It's distracting to say the least!

OP, music is usually a great motivator for me. That, or knowing someone's coming over and I have 5 minutes to tidy the room that looks like a Toys R Us earthquake aftermath!
