Dear Friends,

You know those days when you just have so much to do that
you can't seem to get started? How do you cope? I've
pissed away the last day and a half and I can't do it any
longer. Please help.

Your friend,
thethirdball

you're not the only one thethirdball... not the only one at

this!

the best thing indeed is to just do it (how hard it may
seem). This may take some time, as soon as you start things
will become much easier

(ive got a lack-o-motivation too... and i keep saying this
to myself)

Binaural Tea - thanks for the advice.

I'm shutting this f'ing laptop down now and am going to work
for the next few hours. I'm about to do it. Here I go.

i've been on the computer all day, searching for jobs in
nottingham and doing my cv. its taken me ages to get round
to doing it, and i can't find any jobs that iwant to do or
that i am skilled enough to do.

i really wish i had worked harder at school instead of
sniffing glue and snogging birds :(

* suffers from big lack of motivation too, which causes a
big lack of money, wich causes lack of hardware, wich causes
a lack of doing music...

...wich is a serious problem :-0

getting a job is just a matter of effort, set aside a day to
go and do everything, make sure NOTHING gets in the way of
doing these tasks, because if you plan something for a
particular day, it usually gets done, whereas if you have an
attitude towards things that says "I'll do it someday" it
will never get done.

I used to be a bum, I know what it feels like, just think of
the big fat paycheque at the end

I have no motivation, I've been to my English class, like,
once in three weeks. It's pathetic.

you're not lazy, you're just too busy playing emulation and
listening to music.

what you all need is a financial crisis of a huge caliber to
get you to move your arse, go out and run up some debt on
credit cards or something.

Indeed, urgency is the best motivator. I do my best work in
life during the last few minutes before it's due!

Just remember that you only get one life.
Everything you won't do now, you'll never do.

Well I tried...

Approximately 3 hours have passed and I have done about 45
minutes of work. Not awful, but not good either.

Just doing it is harder than it seems.

I'm going to eat a 6" steak and cheese sub.
