My motivation has fucked off. What to do?

[NearlyHeadlessNick]

My 'get up and go' has got up and gone.

I genuinely don't give a shit. It's not good and I need to get out of the slump.

My job has been really busy over the last month for the end of the financial year. I've been working until late in the evening after the kids are asleep.

We're going on holiday in 2 days and I've not finished the packing. Kids are under 5 so no delegating unfortunately. I'm working right up until we go.

I'm just shattered. Only just over covid, which I had reasonably badly (for Omicron).

I just don't care. I could quite happily just have a week to crawl into bed.

Please give me stern words to pull me out of this and motivate me 😑

Pack light, whatever you take will have to do. Make sure you have travel wash and then you can rinse out the days stuff and wear it again. No-one will be there to see you, so plan for this holiday to be a total slob-out break. Feet up, eat what you fancy and let the kids get messy. Have a blast!

I’m the same lately. It’s taking me several weeks to do a piece of work that would normally take me a couple of days. Do you have a partner who can take over the packing? Have you written a list - I find that way easier than just throwing things in a bag?
And give yourself a break! I have no excuse for my lack of motivation currently; you have every excuse! I hope you get a break on holiday.

Are you taking an iron or vitamins? If you’re only just over Covid then you could need a bit of a boost health wise.

Just give up.

Embrace your inner slackard and do nothing productive.

MN, load of laundry on, MN, make a quick list, MN, cup of tea, MN, dream of a deserted island.

Channel your inner sloth. 🦥

This describes my morning so far. I am sloth.

Motivate you to do what?
Pack for the kids - pack vital necessities only, take a credit card
Work - pah, you've done loads already, sounds like you deserve to coast for a bit. Skive, it will make you feel better
Home stuff - essentials only, ready meals and takeaways are for times like this. Wash things less. A bit of dirt never hurt anyone.
