Motivate me to work on my project. I have some revisions to a freelance project that has turned into a soul-sucking quagmire. I promised it would be done this week but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Please hope me.

Wow, I could have written this post last night. Had to do a rewrite on an article about a small family livestock farm, and I just didn't want to have to look at it again. Then I spent last night waking up from anxious dreams about pigs and pork.

Finished the article today, and now I'm conscience-free-and-easy.

Get it DONE! Plan a reward for yourself. You'll feel SO much better when it's over.

Just start. It'll be over before you know it. The more you dread, the more painful it feels.

If you needed a daily blood transfusion to survive, you'd find the time. This is a line of advice I have read in a CBT book on dieting. It's meant to motivate people to exercise. Does this line work for you? I didn't think so. ;) Good luck, I'm positive you're working at this moment.
