I want and I need to motivate myself, the best way I found to do it is having someone around. Now I'm home alone and I really, really, really have to hurry up...and I know!
Yesterday I tried going into the library to study, was not much produtive as well, so I'm trying it at home today.
I guess what I want are motivation words...Is this asking to much?
My brain says me all the time, come on keep going, but my body doesn't let me. :S very frustrating.
If I don't study a lot today I will be in serious trouble. I guess I should have some playlist with someone reapeting it to me. I'm just venting, doesn't matter. I know many of you find it hard as well. And there is no magical solution.

i finally came to the conclusion that "procrastination", or more aptly: inertness, is part of the brain damage i suffered. it only makes sense to me, that if i used to have it, then something happened, and i don't have that anymore, then it was taken, lost, gone~

i am still struggling with a lack of initiative. if i get to do even 2 things that i want to, in a day, i think it's a good day~ i too found it much easier when there was someone else with me... i called it Psychic Hitchhiking. what really burns my toast is to have that paralysis called "Lazy". it's not laziness, and i begin to wonder if there even is such a thing...

acknowledging the need for supports and accommodations is entirely appropriate~! don't beat yourself up~! if there is no one to help you, give yourself some kindness, offer yourself a reward if you just get up and start... (i find that often if i start i can keep going).

best wishes~
Gus
