So what’s it gonna take for me to get motivated enough to get some work on my house done? These are projects that need to happen ASAP (as in, before the freeze-up):
Finish new closet/desk area
Build wall in garage (reinforce structure, leads to making back room of garage into a living space)
Make area for washer/drier in basement (especially need to get hole for drywell dug in pit before the ground freezes)
Fill cracks in cement around garage foundation
Paint back garage door
This is stuff I’ve known about all summer, and now it’s crunch time.
Could I not do at least something in the evening? Even if it’s not much, anything would be helpful. I simply need to move myself out into the garage after the boys go to bed and do something, anything. Even cleaning up and organizing my workspace would be helpful.
Yes, it’s hard, and it’s asking a lot of myself, but I can do it.
Aha! It’s just like when I need to work out but really don’t want to: I tell myself that I don’t have to have a hard workout, I don’t have to have a long workout, I just have to do something. That helps to get started, and I usually end up having a good workout. Yes, that should help.
