Old habits die hard

It was a rough day at work today. You would think by that comment that it means I was crazy busy, but no. Don't get me wrong I have a lot to do,never ending really but I still struggle getting motivated to complete tasks. Although I do enjoy most of my work, I seem to just complete the things that have deadlines (at the last minute of course). I'm very frustrated with myself as I have a busy few weeks coming up before my holidays. I have meetings and colleagues visiting as well as have to present my thesis work ( a big step towards finishing).  Today I have gone through a few periods of self-loathing/shame at my laziness.

Perhaps I am being too hard on myself, everyone gets in ruts and supposedly the most important thing is to not dwell on mistakes but continue to work on changing your behaviour to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Easier said than done sometimes.....or is it?

Well as my work day comes to a close I move my sights to the weekend work on my thesis and promise myself that next week will be the most productive week yet.  One day at a time I guess, I plan to listen to the advice fellow TOOLers have given me about motivation and time managment.

Until next time ;)
