Motivational Issues

It's not even procrastination that's getting me I suppose...I just have no motivation to do anything school related.  I find that I have this habit when I start getting really close to something and a bit anxious about it I kind of shut down and don't want to do anything...which of course is a horrible habit to have, especially while trying to complete my last semester of Graduate school.

Boo.

And today it's raining which makes me only want to stay inside, finish my book and nap sporadically throughout the day.

*Sigh*

Any advice on getting motivation?    I've tried looking at the big picture, I've tried ridding of distractions, I've tried to calm down (in case anxiety is what's ailing me).  Nada.

I think part of it has to do with having so much more time on my hands that I'm like "Ah, I can do that another day because I've got SO much time" when really I don't.  Damn!

I think I'll go get a donut, some coffee, and hide my book until the stuff is done.... I had plans to go to the library but I don't want to walk in the rain (lazy) and it isn't opened for too long today.

Let's hope it works!

Reduce your plan to writing. The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire. ~Napoleon Hill

July is already bursting with the writing I'm going to have to do.
I say have to because I've got to work on the re-writes for my thesis and attempt to get a rough draft of the damn thing done by the end of the month.  I also have a paper due and shorter writing assignments for class by August 1st.

But I am EXCITED about it!  I've felt stuck, stopped up, blocked when it comes to writing.

I've started writing a bit for fun lately and it's been really nice!  After finding out that my poetry from the past has been destroyed (which truly breaks my heart) I guess the winds have changed and are willing to let me have another go...and maybe this time I'll actually publish it!

I'm getting a few things tweaked here and there regarding my thesis and my class paper so hopefully by Sunday July 1st I can start writing full force and get revisions and re-works back...which I admit is a very humbling and terrifying experience for me but a good experience just the same.

Hopefully I can keep it up, the steam, the excitement, the flow.

I'll let you know how it works out!
