I'm slacking today.... Being pregnant doesn't help my energy level or motivation. I only have a few things on my list. But this is what I've done so far today:

- Got up, made DH breakfast and lunch, made coffee
- Got DH off to work, got online
- Ate breakfast, got back in bed, snoozed for an hour
- Got up, took shower
- Made a smoothie
- Got online again (hello)


I am not making progress today. Help me before I turn into a slug.

Sigh... guess that's my only option... I think I'll ban myself for the rest of the day. I really must start limiting my internet time. Oyyyyy....

PS. Sorry about your dog.

That's a great idea! Maybe you could pick something to do around the house and give yourself a time limit and set a timer to keep yourself on track. Me and DH do that sometimes and it helps.

Could it be the weather because I had an absolutely lovely list today also, and I'm almost embarrassed to go update it. Atleast if I don't update it ya'll can think I just forgot or something...lol! DD was home from school, I'm feeling totally unmotivated, and I slept on the couch with Daniel for 2+hours. Ugh!

Often when I feel unmotivated to clean/etc..Ill set my timer for 15/20 min and work in the room I feel most overwhelmed with, or that really needs cleaning (usually the kitchen). I'll make myself work really hard for that time period. After the time is up...I'll either completely stop and do another 20 later (even the first 20 makes such a diff) or be motivated enough then to complete the project. I also Love to open the blinds and let the sun in after I have cleaned (not worried then about people walking by and seeing a messy room!) Or if it is in the evening, light some candles in the now-clean room.
