How would you motivate me?

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.

Val123's avatar

@SpatzieLover You go! You’re lighting fires and I’m kicking!

I have this problem. A lot.
But in your case. You gotta pick. Homework now, or during the office?

ewwwww…..

cyn's avatar

what does all of this mean?

Val123's avatar

@johnpowell I’m teaching myself HTML with a little help from my friends. Why you say “Ew” to microsoft front page? I’m teaching myself hoping to land a position with a company that requires maintaning their website so…?

Val123's avatar

@cyndihugs Are you talking about all that stuff I threw out up there?

J0E's avatar

I learned MS Front Page in 7th grade…so…yeah

cyn's avatar

@Val123 Yes. I don’t understand. My head hurts.

rangerr's avatar

I’m pretty sure that this thread isn’t helping much..
But now I’m curious.
What homework do you have?

J0E's avatar

@rangerr Intro to Computer Programming: Starting Out with Python

J0E (13172points)“Great Answer” (0points)
rangerr's avatar

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

Blondesjon's avatar

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

Jeruba's avatar

“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.”

adri027's avatar

I’m gonna sock you if you don’t get to steppin son!

Val123's avatar

Have you steppin and fetchin across the room tryin to catch up with yourself, son!

J0E's avatar

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.

shego's avatar

@J0E I’ll make a batch of homemade chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. :) Yummy!

SpatzieLover's avatar

@shego I’ll take one of those!

shego's avatar

@SpatzieLover keep in mind, this is only my second time making them, but they should come out good. I’m making 3 dozen for a halloween party at a homeless shelter.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@shego How kindhearted! I hope it’s a fun party!!! They sound delish.

shego's avatar

@SpatzieLover I hope so too, thank you.

Val123's avatar

@shego :) Yougo shego!

shego's avatar

@Val123 oh! thank you.

RedMosquitoMM's avatar

Good to know I’m not the only person that reads the term “study break” as a euphemism.

wundayatta's avatar

Taser.

higherground's avatar

Do your work first. Good things like ‘The Office’ are worth waiting for ;)

Val123's avatar

WELL??? Did you get it done??? We put a LOT of work into your homework, you know. We deserve to know the results!

J0E's avatar

heh, still working on it.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@J0E Oh my! I think it’s time you get it finished so you can have the weekend for funtime.

Val123's avatar

TAZER!!!!!!!!!!!!

sophillyk's avatar

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.

Val123's avatar

@sophillyk He knows that already.

J0E's avatar

@sophillyk Yeah, I know that, and you will too when you actually enter it.
