Motivation

I am in need of motivation.

I need to find a way to stay focused and excited about projects that are less then exciting. I need to find a reason to do the things that I know need to get done, but that I am really not that thrilled to do. Things like: going to the gym more than once a week, re-categorizing all the accounts at work so that they get taxed correctly, recreating all the floor plans for work, actually picking up my calls at work instead of letting them go to voice mails, etc.

It seems like I am finding a zillion and twelve reasons to not do these things, and finding others things to do that really have no merit or need to be done. Why is that???

I think I have figured out why I don't like to pick up the phone at work. It just rings so constantly.  The generation of people I am working for and with do not really like to work via email - they would prefer to do things by phone, while I would much rather bang out a quick email with the details and be done with it. I feel with the phone ringing all day - I hardly get a thing done all day.

I am pretty sure I know why I keep putting off all the account work - I really hate that there is so much finance involved in my position and I don't like the way my program deals with reporting... so it takes forever to try and get the correct report generated. I also never really know what type of finance reports need to be created and why - things are never quite clear on that front.

I should love creating floor plans and drafting diagrams - I just can't wrap my head around it I think, because I am pretty sure that the staff is going to rebel against something that I do. They are going to pitch a fit about the angles of the drawing, or the layout of the chairs and how that has never been the way it was done before. It just seems exhausting before I even start.

And let's not even begin to hypothesise why I can't get to the gym... we all know it's been a struggle forever!!

All I know is that I need some focus. Anyone have any to spare?
