when i am utterly unmotivated, i struggle with tasks. i am better with busy work, awful at other stuff that i can procrastinate. what can help in this situation? aside from perusing jcrew factory sales, modcloth shoes, mommy blogs and facebook?

making lists works pretty well for me. i love making lists, so if i incorporate this act that i enjoy, i can somehow trudge through this work that just needs to get done.

i love writing in journals. i've begun doing this in OneNote to get through ideas and stuff that needs to get sorted out.

incorporate things i enjoy. things other than fashion, chocolate and IMing with friends. i get so annoyed when friends are too busy to IM. but you know what? we don't get paid the big bucks to IM.
