Hello Twistedmoneys24: Well... yes & no... I definitely have the no-motivation feeling. But I do get up & do what needs to be done. There are a few different reasons for this. One is... many years ago, growing up, my father would always say: "You're not required to like it. You're just required to do it." It became sort-of my mantra. (And not always in a good way.)

I have a wife who simply wouldn't tolerate me not getting up & doing what needs to be done. I'm also "lucky", I guess you might say, I'm now into my retirement years & am not employed. So, as a result, one day is pretty-much exactly the same as every other day. I have essentially the same things to do day-in & day-out; & I find that having a set routine makes it easier for me to just get up & slog through my day regardless of how I might feel about it. Sometimes it just feels like torture. But I do it anyway...
Thanks for this!
