Can't be bothered to work

[SadEmoji]

I have work today and I don't want to go in although it's only 3 hours long.

I'm a cleaner and I hate it.

I have two 8 hour jobs this weeks and I'm dreading them.

How can I get the motivation to go in or at least enjoy the job?

Well can you afford NOT too...if you can’t then let that be your motivation! 🤷‍♀️ And look for another job that you might prefer maybe in the mean time. Good luck OP!

I sympathise...I'm a terrible procrastinator sometimes! I motivate myself by:

a) reminding myself that in 24 hours this will all be behind me
b) having a nice playlist that I can sing along to (I have to do that when I'm doing any housework as I hate it so much)
c) thinking about what I'm going to have for tea/what's the next film or box set I'm going to watch

and, in extreme situations, pretending I'm a character in a novel....

My motivation for turning up to work even when I hated it was the need to keep a roof over my head and having money to pay all the bills. If you don't like your job look for something different.

Money. End of.

pretending I'm a character in a novel

Love it

Not having much luck with my job search either. I'm ignored or told I don't have the right experience

I’m sorry you’re hating work and having a hard time with the job search. It’s really grim when you dread going in.

I second the playlist idea; also, audiobooks. Motivational snacks, too. I am nicking the pretending to be a character in a novel idea!
