Apologies to Jack Gantos for the lifted title, but it seemed apt.
I’ve been horribly deficient in my duties of late, to the point where I am lagging considerably in grading and writing. Motivation is part of it, but the real green-eyed monster is… heck, who am I kidding. It is all about motivation. It seems to be that I’ve lost that killer instinct–at least temporarily–to go out there and be wildly productive. That motivation dearth is something of a downer for me and utterly infectious in my home life.
Maybe its the other way around. I do have three video game and TV addicted boys. Truth be told, I’ve yet to figure out the reason behind this slump, but it is something I desperately need to address and learn to recognize before it becomes an issue.
Being unmotivated is fine when its just you, but when your actions affect others, the lack of drive is unacceptable.
