The amount of motivation one possesses is inversely proportional to the amount of work that needs to be accomplished. I've got a checklist of things I need to do before the baby gets here, and I'm inside of five weeks to my due date. I really need to get on it, but it's so easy to just hang out on the couch and not do anything. I don't know how to motivate myself. But I really have to get going on things, or else I won't have anywhere to put the little spud when he shows up!
