On days like today I feel like I deserve all my problems

[Mr. Sir]

I'm unproductive, I can't get up when my alarm clock rings, I havent lifted in 3 days, I smoke cigarettes, I sit on facebook or incel forums all day, I really piss myself off. I bring it all on myself, waht shud i do?

 

[Lonesome Crow]

Get a blow job?...IDK

Seriously...after you get a blow job..it won't bother you if you're un productive sometimes. You'll sleep through the alarm. You won't care so much about
internet stuff. You'll enjoy smoking your cigg. You won't be pissed off at the world or yourself.

 

[theIntrovert]

haha nice

 

[jales]

well take things slowly, i'm often like this as well..
there is no real way to get out of it than to build up a sort of momentum..

i'm sure there are things you should be doing, write them down.. and start doing it.. with time i think you will then come out of this slow phase ..
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt...but that is what i do..

just slowly start to do the things i should be doing.. instead of youtube etc.. lol

 

[stella]

sounds like me, i have zero motivation to do anything. spent the last week in bed with the laptop smoking and listening to music, not been to work, not done anything. just feel like there is nothing out there that i want to see or do. wish i had an answer for you socratesx.

nothing to do, nowhere to go, nobody to believe in.

 

[PoWer2tHePeOpLE]

yeah, don't worry about it..

what exactly is being 'productive' anyway.. working??

nothing wrong with a little 'bumming around'.. enjoy it. you don't always have to be striving for something.. relaxation and so called 'time wasting' isn't bad..

don't beat yer self up..

 

[Badjedidude]

nothing to do, nowhere to go, nobody to believe in.

*hug* Sorry to hear it, stella. You seem like a cool person. I think there might be more to you than you think.

It's totally ok to be unproductive. Look at BJD, I don't consider him productive at all in RL. He's always here posting away!

1. motivation, incitement, stimulus, spur; influence, occasion, ground, cause. Motive, incentive, inducement apply to whatever moves one to action. Motive is, literally, something that moves a person; an inducement, something that leads a person on; an incentive, something that inspires a person. Motive is applied mainly to an inner urge that moves or prompts a person to action, though it may also apply to a contemplated result,the desire for which moves the person: His motive was a wish to be helpful. Inducement is never applied to an inner urge, and seldom to a goal: The pleasure of wielding authority may be an inducement to get ahead. It is used mainly of opportunities offered by the acceptance of certain conditions, whether these are offered by a secondperson or by the factors of the situation: The salary offered me was a great inducement. Incentive was once used of anything inspiring or stimulating the emotions or imagination: incentives to piety; it has retained of this its emotional connotations, but (rather like inducement) is today applied only to something offered as a reward, and offered particularly to stimulate competitive activity: to create incentives for higher achievement. 2.

and the point of this patronising post is?

 

[SophiaGrace]

it's not patronizing, i thought it'd be interesting if i posted the definition of Motivation. "what is motivation?" That was the question I asked myself, and then I posted the answers. It was meant to try and help.

 

[Lonesome Crow]

None of us lack motivations. We all have it.
We're either more motivated to sit on our ass or we're more motivated to get up and do something.
