Motivation Monday!

 Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I hate seeing weekends go...I love the time I get to spend with my family and...well...not working?  But at least we're starting the week off with a little motivation?  Who doesn't need that first thing on a Monday morning?  Hope you can join in on the fun!  Super easy to do...just write a post about what is motivating you this week, link my blog somewhere in that post, and then leave a link to your post in a comment.  And I'll add you to the list!

So yes, I'm still working hard on my fitness and losing the baby weight, so it's a given that that will continue to be my motivation  But this week I need motivation for something else.

 

Stay on task. 


Must stay on task.

 

I'm not sure when it happened but I do believe I have Adult A.D.D.  Sure, it's not diagnosed, and I'm no medical profession, but man...I sure can't keep focus to save my life.  "Oooh, a shiny object!"  And I'm notoriously bad at starting a task, then losing focus and beginning another and then another and another until my desk looks like a land mine hit it and I've basically accomplished nothing in 8 hours.  I'm ashamed to admit that this does happen quite often for me. 

 

It's not that I don't have a ton to do.  God knows I do.  I think my problem is I get so overwhelmed with my list of things to accomplish and I can't stay focused.  So I'm wondering..is a "to do" list necessary?  And not just any to do list because if I just say "these are things I need to do this week" I won't get to it until Thursday or Friday.  But maybe a list of things I need to do at work and in my personal life, breaking it down daily so that I can mark things off as I go along.  It'll give me a clearer picture of what needs to be done, and I might stay a little more motivated if I see that I'm actually making progress.  Sure, it might not be enough to conquer my inability to maintain focus, but it's worth a try, right?

 

Maybe this will help with my list of things that I have yet to accomplish?


How about all of you?  How do you stay on task? 

So that's my motivation for the week...what about you all?  I can't wait to read them!
