    Trying to find motivation on a Monday morning is no easy task.

    I suggest giving up for the moment and regrouping later today or tomorrow.

    Motivation will be found much easier.

      The time is ticking towards writing this damn thing, and I have taken two weeks off work precisely to focus on it…

      … But also I do have that sweet extension till the end of next month, and I do know my brain is like a petulant toddler that needs to be coaxed into doing the right thing if it doesn’t feel like working (unless urgent deadlines or large amounts of money is involved). Currently I’m at the “let’s see if we can just write out some dot points and call it a day” stage

        Would you like some witchy help sent via the aether? Can do up a motivational brew if you feel one would help you get started.

          That would be most appreciated o wise magi. I have already had one such brew but it has rendered me distractible and not focused.

            Righto. Coming up this evening. Will probably kick in right as you want to go to sleep. Will provide the ‘do it now and get it over with’ version, unless you want the ‘help help the deadline approaches far too quickly’ version. Please let me know what your preference is.

              The first, please - but it should feel like the second, if that’s possible… thank you.

        I recall having similar issues in my uni days.

        Somehow I made it.

        But would not do it again the same way hahaha.

        Made it way too hard for myself

          I swear I’m completely done with higher education after this thing, I just don’t have it in me to work on these sorts of long nebulous projects any more. Especially for free!
