freya's 10 steps to motivation

these were taken from countless days of personal experience. i hope you learn something.

how to be productive:

1) wallow in guilt

2) realize how much better you'd feel if you did something productive

3) wallow in more guilt

4) try to be interested in the things that are going on that aren't productive

5) realize you aren't

6) wallow in guilt

7) get up to go to the bathroom/get water/get chips in the hopes that you are motivated to do something

8) sit back down

9) wallow in guilt

10) actually get up to do something

it can be a long process, lasting several, if not many, hours. if you find that you need to go to bed before you hit step 10, just try again tomorrow.

note: when abandoning procedure in the middle, you will have to start from the beginning. this is not something that you can just pick back up when you feel like it! you must be dedicated.

but really, don't even worry about it. just embrace the guilt.
and to all of you who can go from 0 to 10 without the rest of it, i'm not jealous. really. my method is more educational. you really learn about self-pity after beating yourself up over housework for hours.
