Motivation. That's a tough one. At times I struggle to get motivated to do things and have found that if I listen to music with my headphones I can kind of push myself into a zone where the motivation kind of follows along. I even work on classes that I am doing about website accessibility at work with headphones on, however there it's more to avoid the distraction of my co-workers.

You have demonstrated an excellent grasp of written language in your posts, so the key is how do you turn on that talent with something that you just are not interested in?

I would start (and maybe you've already done this) by writing down bullet points of the main ideas of the chapter. Then expand and flourish each one a little, then put them together in a coherent paragraph or paragraphs. So, I guess what I'm saying is, take a more mechanical view of what you have to write instead of your normal way of writing, which I'm assuming is similar to mine. You normally just start writing and it just comes out. That works when you are interested in a topic, but not always when you are not.

If you haven't already, give it a try.

Hang in there.
