and i've wasted another day

[mesatchornug]

don't know what my problem is with self-motivating, and actually getting anything done for myself, but it needs to stop. i need to be able to just tackle things for me like i would if it were something i needed to do for others.

blargh.

that anonymous one? that's me.

anyway; i've also wasted the day. i conditioned this morning. i watered plants and hung out with my rats and wrote out sketches for a few acts...

... but it's 3p and that's all i've done.

i am sort of stuck, and i'm tired of my performance work being sort of 1-dimensional, and it's time to make that change. and that, too, is scary.

When I run into this issue, I've had success going to esteemed friends who were willing to listen/help and ask for help holding myself accountable for getting my things done- even if it was just announcing to them what I had to do and deadlines of when those tasks would be accomplished and have them check back in with me at my self-appointed deadlines. The perceived weight of accountability to others - even with remarkably little effort on their part - has helped to motivate me.

I know that's more of a work-around than a straight-up solution, but in a pinch..
