Does anyone know some good ways to get motivated ... on well, life in general. Or to just get organised? I am behind on everything. I have so many people I need to e-mail, wonderful people I've done a lousy job of keeping up with and miss terribly. I have done little to no writing for almost a good year. I just basically work and then spend my days

Heh. Well, me offering advice on time budgeting is like Anakin teaching anger managment courses. ;) But one thing that helps for me sometimes is breaking things up into smaller, more manageable chunks. For example, rather than wangsting about the vast amount of dirty dishes cluttering up the kitchen, I focus on getting a little bit done every night. Sometimes it helps to break individual chores into sub-categories; clean out my water bottles one night, put away the silverware the next night, etc.

And my creativity's pretty much in neutral now too, if that's any consolation. But my advice would be that if you happen to get a burst of inspiration, act on it as soon as you can...the mundane stuff will keep. ;) Or sometimes just doing a bit of free-associative writing or sketching, rather than trying to tackle an existing project straight-off, will help get the creative juices flowing.

Anyway, hope some of that was remotely helpful. Good luck.
