Anybody else not motivated?
I don't know why- but for the last 2-3 weeks I don't want to work. I show up every day, but my heart just isn't in it. It could be the furloughs, it could be all the talk of paycuts, or it could be that I'm just bored... I don't know but I wish I could snap out of it!
Any ideas on how to motivate myself on the job- because I'm just not feeling it, lol!
Don't worry about tomorrow. After all, today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. Take each day as it comes...one at a time.

Re: Anybody else not motivated?
I just keep telling myself - it's only for a year, it's only for a year. ?But then again, we're only just going on our first round of furloughs and pay cuts, so I'm still not quite feeling it.
Sorry not much help here.?
Exactly - for us its only 18 months which really isn't much in the whole scheme of things- and it has been going on since February- so I've had 5 months to adjust, so I don't know why I'm all demotivated now instead of then. And you'd think I'd be happy to have the time off--- but that isn't doing it for me, lol!
I'm just visiting the nest more which is BAD- but I'm feeling sort of trapped- no where to promote to, no jobs out in the real world to transfer over to--- its that feeling of being stuck in mud AND sinking, lol!
Oh I can definitely see how hard it would be in your case too! first off 10 weeks off- even though you have been "working" having a baby to care for- is a long time to take off and get used to not being at work, lol
Then leaving the baby is a whole other ball of wax!
I just wish I could get excited about what I'm doing- I've been doing this for 2.5 years and it used to be exciting to come to work- but now I'm starting to dread coming here, and then I want to bang my head into the wall for the next 8 hours, then drive home to chores, lol!
I think I just need to win the lotto- problem solved!
Everyday I have to repeat my mantra "at least I still have a job and it could be worse"
And the fact that we've had all these expenses lately so we seem to be spending money fastr than we're earning it and not on fun stuff.
Everyday I have to repeat my mantra "at least I still have a job and it could be worse"
Kat we say that with G's job everyday but it really could be worse.
This economy really sucks. I can't wait till it's a long past and we say things like "remember how bad it was in 2009".
I'm sorry I don't have any real advice on how to motivate yourself. It's something I've been struggling with lately too.
I do still look at my life and think I've got to be one of the luckiest people ever to have the life that I do and sometimes that helps.
You all have some awesome points.
I am SO blessed- I have a wonderful Husband, a beautiful home, a good job and I get paid very well even after the paycuts.... I just need to take a breath step back and realize how lucky I am! No more stressing over the crap I can't change... maybe that will help a little bit...
