I need help with motivation

[badmouse]

I work a bunch of part-time/temp jobs but I also have my home-based online biz, which I work on when I have some spare time.

I find that it's getting harder and harder to get started on my home-work. I'm tired, I have a lot going on, the usual. The normal motivation: UNPAID BILLS, the excitement of selling something to a total stranger, setting goals, waiting until work is done to visit ATOT, whatever, just isn't working.

Gotta change something.

Suggestions? What gets you going?

This gets me going sometimes. Usually only for working out though...

I suggest coffee, no sugar. Don't drink mt. dew or coke or anything like that as substitute. Sugar doesn't last long enough for energy. Oh wait we're talking about motivation.

Sometimes I imagine real life is a MMORPG, like WoW. It takes alot longer in RL to lvl though. And building up skills takes ALOT longer as well. Although when the water's boiled off, it's all exp. and equipment.

Here. Make a character sheet for YOU, then make up some "quests" that will up the stats you want. Like money? You are going to need to quest yourself over to Ebay and pawn off some gear to make some golds. Or feeling wimpy? Repeatable quests can be completed at the gym, I reccomend doing this quest ~3 times a week.

See? Life is fun! The Ultimate MMORPG!

Whoa. Yup, this is definately trying something different. Okay, now I'm going to think about my character sheet and my quests. This might work . . .

This plus ATOT = excellent work avoidance for most of the day!!

Thanks.

Awesome. Let me know if you want to team up for some PvP sometime. Like a bar or alley... Maybe put the PvP flag on at the library, see how mobs react.

Then maybe we could start a guild. That would be sweet. We'd need a raid party though for the "Run for President" quest. That's probably one of the biggest quests in the game. We'll need all lvl 60s for that....
