Topic 4 of 16 [phinished]: Motivation

The bug has bit again. My motivation is at all time low. I had a great working weekend but now I just can't get my head in it. So how do others who put in 8-10 hour days at work find the motivation to get your head into the diss. Any tips for me? Because even after having a cup of coffee and big cookie :) all I want to do is lay my head down and go to sleep.

promice your eslf a little break or goodie if you do 10 minutes of writing, use free writing if need be - then when the 10 minutes are up if you are going along well keep going or stop and give your self the treat - things like checking in here, walking down for the mail, getting a glass of water/cup of tea, where my treats - simple things that didn't lead to a fatter me:) I'm always tempted to reward myself with chocolate! :)

Lynn,
why don't you try the thesis binder?! I posted the instructions under the noneof the above topic. It really is a great motivator. And Chrissie is soooo right on.... use chocolate to motivate yourself! My advisor used Haagen Dazs ice cream and was never unmotivated.

Lynn, My favorite thing to do in the evening after work (besides crash) is check my email and visit PHinisheD. This week I am not allowing myself to do either until I have completed my daily study/writing goal. This has caused me to get through an entire book in three nights! Granted I was rereading a short book but I have been putting if off for way too long. Good luck, Mary Ann
