Like, to put it bluntly... this work SUCKS.


Instead of doing work, I've been reading and playing guitar for most of the day. And of course, part of my day was chewed up by going to the dealer for my car, too. I also spent some time online buying a few new books (physical books), even though I own a kindle paperwhite. I just prefer physical copies of books that I really enjoy. I don't know why; I just like to have them in my possession. I actually have some signed books, but these books I'm ordering aren't signed.


What's really sucky is that I try to read or play guitar, and then I remind myself, "Man, I really need to do work...." So, then stop what I'm doing and go back to my work laptop. After about 5 mins, I decide I don't want to do work because I am unmotivated, and then I go back to what I was doing. I'm just going back and forth, back and forth...


I'm going to try to listen to some music. Maybe that'll relax me? I don't know. I just feel sh_tty about not doing work... And my sister/dad situation is annoying because they're STILL going at it. I don't want any part of it, and yet, they're still pulling at my arms in opposite directions and getting mad at me for not taking their side. Figures...


I hope everyone else has been having a good day.


It’s hard to find motivation at times. The 15 min timer works for cleaning laundry etc

Maybe set a timer for 1 hour , work , take a break 30 mins or so then go another hour.

I’m so sorry your still dealing with drama , that exhausting and very stressful.. Can you just tell them you are DONE with it today ?? Are you able to just not answer your phone? Ignore texts?! I hate that your having to put up with this shyt
