Motivation and Distraction

Yesterday was the sort of day where nothing gets done. I started things, but the only things where I made any progress were things like laundry, crocheting (I made several kippot for the wedding), setting up lists (and doing nothing with them past that)... At least, in the evening, Mom and I had a nice workout together. Working out with her is motivational for me- at least with some things, she gets me to keep at it a little longer than I would on my own, and having someone else involved gets me to start- initiation energy is generally my weak point, both in exercise and in various sorts of work.

Having said that, I took that thought and just used it to motivate me to make a call and write some emails that I've been putting off due to anxiety. (And the result of the call was quite calming and useful, too.) So something pretty good came out of this introspection. Now, 'just' to figure out how to keep it up/improve.
