Have you ever gotten to the point when you know something needs to get done, but don’t have an ounce of motivation to do it?

Yep, that’s me. And the motivation has been missing since, oh, the start of summer vacation!

I don’t know what it is. Perhaps it is not having to get up early and get the kids off to school. Or perhaps it’s the ridiculously hot weather that is draining me. Whatever it is, it’s not good.

I find myself waiting until almost the last minute to do my homework assignments, or worse, I am not giving what I believe is 100 percent effort.

Granted, I am carrying an A in one class and a high B in another and only one assignment has been turned in which counted toward the grade in that class. But I honestly don’t feel like I am giving it my all. I’m just not feeling it. You know what I mean?

I tell myself at the beginning of every week that I am going to start my assignments and finish them early. Between Monday and Sunday, that gusto goes out the door.

I may get them done, but never as early as I like. I hope that motivation returns soon, as I have a term paper to write and finals in a few weeks.

What do you do to regain motivation?
