Motivation is such an interesting thing. I find that the worst part about any task is actually just beginning it. However, regardless of whether or not I continually remind myself of this fact, I still struggle with motivation at times. Usually, it happens when I have a large chunk of time to devote to something. I just waste time! The busier I am, the more I get done - which I know is true for many people but it seems so annoying to me. I have to learn more self discipline. "Yes, I have a lot of free time today, so I need to finish what I have to get done before I am allowed to waste time." I just have to do it. Really, it's as simple as that. I just have to start. When I still watched Heroes, I was struck by something that Hiro's mother said in a flashback once "If you fix it today, you don't have to worry about it tomorrow."
She is right.

You know the people who did their homework right after school and who start their papers the day they are assigned because otherwise they have huge amounts of anxiety. Those people are SO LUCKY! They seem like the same people who make sure they get 8 hours of sleep no matter WHAT! Who are these incredibly whole people?
I don't know but let's try to find one and dissect him/her.
I'm pretty sure Rachael Besser is one of these people. I have a roommate now who goes to bed at 10PM!! Every night!!! In fact, I think Claire Steinman is amongst them!
I say we dissect my roommate... not because I don't like her but by process of elimination.
