This UThink blog remarks on something I've been feeling for just about a week: a desire to curl up in bed and stay there until about April.
At first I attributed it to a sort of adrenaline "let-down" after finishing my first prelim (which was REALLY stressful) last weekend. But there might be something in this seasonal change, too. I'm sleepy, even though I sleep plenty, and I am apathetic. I skipped Polish class last week, and hence haven't done any Polish work for almost two weeks, yet I still don't really care. I have so much to do, yet I can't seem to motivate to do any of it.
I brought home 10 more papers from the office to grade tonight. I've done more than half, but there are still many, many more to do. And next weekend it'll be the next assignment. Dissertation proposal? It's not happening, folks.

Posted by: Jenny at October 27, 2005 09:53 PMI can somehow relate to that. I have done so much procrastination during college especially during exams and it was really not good. Though it's hard to motivate one's self, we must try. My daily motivation was that after finals meant vacation. If I fail any subject, I would have to take it up during summer or extend my stay in college. So I must pass all the subject to enjoy my vacation and graduate on time. It gave me a reason to study everyday so that I won't cram up days before the exams.

Lack of motivation must be fight off to avoid procrastination. Try to focus your mind on your task. Not on the amount of task that you have to do.
Posted by: Lack of Motivation at June 18, 2007 04:19 PMIf you've been to a stressful week, you really need rest. But procrastinating or maybe lack of motivation is another story. Get yourself motivated towards the things that you want and need to be done.
