Where I am Today

stop_making_excuses_signToday, I am in a place of loving my daily life and also being tired of my daily routine. Yes I rise early to get ready for my busy day ahead. I dig my job BUT why on earth must we go EVERYDAY? That is a fact that boggles my senses even after all these years spent working everyday. (Insert eye roll here especially for me.)

Thankfully I don’t work long hours, but I do stay busy. Much of my job is spent problem solving so..yikes by 5 p.m., I am like a character out of The Walking Dead. I don’t seem to have much time for my hobbies lately, or don’t take the time to dedicate to them. Holy crap, one would think I am my own worst enemy these days! I’ve attempted to schedule set days to work out, play my instrument and read/study but…can’t say that is working out so well. Don’t ask me how many days I’ve actually gone after work to work out either! 🙂

So, I’m wondering what others do to get themselves on a schedule after work in order to spend on their hobbies or extracurricular activities. Do you have to find a motivation outside of yourself? I’m thinking it may be beneficial to actually hire someone to be at my home by 5 p.m., knock on the door and just give me one of those looks. You know like “you know where you are supposed to be right now, and it’s NOT here”. Now, that may motivate me. Then again, I would feel compelled to stop paying him/her so I can have some peace.

So what do you do to motivate yourself?
