Just Shut Up and Do It
I don't know why I am such a procrastinator and just uninterested in getting things done lately..or in general. I've always had an issue with motivating myself to better myself when there isn't some sort of negative outcome if I don't. For example - when I decided I wanted to get my current job, I studied my butt off on Linux-y things for a while before the phone screen because I wanted the choice of whether or not to take an offer..not worry about getting one.
But since I got the job, I have a much harder time making myself study more. I do it as need arrises and I'm able ot keep up with my work, which is part of my problem. Who thought that learning quickly would ever be a problem? Heh, and now I sound like a braggert. I'm not trying to be, I just have a knack for remembering computer-related things and finding answers quickly. Because of that, I haven't had any real "oh shit" type moments at work where I'm stuck in something over my head. I can always find a way out or to fix the situation and I'm fine. And not that it's a bad place/situation to be in, but when is it ever a bad idea to not be more prepared and informed? It can only make me better at my job, more qualified, etc. But I'll be damned if all those amazingly good reasons are ones that make me get off my mental ass and work.
I've had similar gym issues lately. I did really well for about 3 weeks and then it got really cold outside. And suddenly staying in bed for an extra hour just sounds so much better than going out in the cold, sweating a bunch, then coming back, showering, and going into the ocld agian for work. See? I just talked myself out of going tomorrow.
I really need to learn how to mentally STFU and just do things. Then maybe I'd get more sleep, too.
