I just can't work
 

Been working less and less.

I sit here and start posting on some message boards or somebody calls me or whatever happens and causes me to not to do anything.

This is becoming a vicious habit. I must snap out of it!

Anybody ever had any similar problems? Ever just get into a slow grind?

Yeah, I know it's easy to get distracted and fall into a slump... I'm the epitome of lazy sometimes :1orglaugh The only advice I have is to find something that motivates you and turn off all your IM programs for a while. Not always easy to do :Oh crap

I recommend smoking weed.

I hear you on that.

That used to work well sometimes. I would really get into the zone.

Over the last couple years smoking weed just makes me jumpy and paranoid as shit.


Which is weird because I use to party on acid and everything that I could get my hands on. I wouldn't dare do that these days in fear of insanity :(

That motivation thing.. thats the hard part.

Hehe, I see.

Well if marijuana doesnt do it for you anymore, then I recommend drinking alcohol. Nothing under 70 proof.

I recommend putting on some headphones and listening to ynot radio

i got periods like that too much. I think even 1 week per month..chilling and posting on boards. The worst thing is ur know u wasting time but u think "tomorrow im gonna work again"
I even had a period of almost 1 month i barely did anything :Oh crap

when they turn off the water, the phone, the electric and other things you will remember this thread.

yeha, you have periods when you become lazy...it´s normal

yeah, Ive been there... I can be a lazy fuck sometimes!

I've been there the last 2 years... :1orglaugh

When I'm not feeling particularly motivated I drink a few cups of coffee and that usually does the trick.. Caffeine is your friend.

yeah don't turn on any im programs or surf the net until you've accomplished something...like working continuously for 3 hrs. then reward yourself with some chatting.
it may not seem like 3 hrs is a long time to work, but its a lot more than you're working now, it sounds like.
