So I'm sat here having not slept for three days. I've got some work to be finished and handed in in about 7 hours. Instead of doing it, I'm sat here at 5:30am wasting my time drinking can after can of Strongbow, piling the empty cans around my computer. I've even got my pen and paper out, and several newspapers sprawled across my bed, but I'm just not going to do anything unless I can motivate myself to do so.
I can do the work easily. It's a piece of piss, just read the newspapers and analyse them, determining target audience, bias, writing style, all that jazz. I could do this shit in my sleep, but I'm not.
Motivation is the problem. I am a lazy ************ who leaves everything until the last minute. I want to change, but I don't know how. Getting motivated would probably help, so let's run down some things:
how the fuck does anyone motivate themselves? I reckon I'm going to do some work after posting this, and I might even finish it, but what about the next piece? how can I sustain self-motivation as a long-term thing?
I would offer some suggestions, but I don't know shit. How do you lot make yourselves actually do something?
