“Great Question” (4

)

I need a major dose of some motivation. I have some homework to do, that’s going to take me a while, and I’d like to get it done before The Office.

Imagine your sitting next to me, what would you do or say to get me moving? Maybe you have a motivating song or quote you would share. Give me your best stuff.

Maybe it will help…

Put the Fluther down. As much as I love it, its not conducive to homework.

@J0E Yeah, I’d say there’s no motivation for that except the fear of having to redo it.

Hey @J0E! Look at me! I never got motivated to do my homework either!

“Getting started is the hard part.”

“Tell me how you’ve thought about approaching it. Let’s talk about how you’re going to get a handle on it.”

“Can you focus or narrow or simplify it some so it isn’t overwhelming?”

“What’s your idea of done? What’s it going to take to accomplish that?”

“Break it down into small, manageable chunks and tackle them one at a time.”

“You’ll feel better when it’s over.”

Update: I’ve been chipping away at it since I asked this, took a break to watch The Office, now I’m going to finish it up. Something that should have taken me less than an hour to complete is taking me all night.

i would tell you that i have just finished school, and it is not like you think its going to be, its not all parties and drinking. Its fucking tough out there, make the most of school and do the best you can so that when you do finish you will have an easier time of finding your place in the world. PLEASE TAKE THIS ADVICE SERIOUSLY. I know i sound like your parents and im only 18, but the real world is tough.
