I find list making is a good start, and setting aside one day (actually usually at the beginning, not as a reward once I'm done) to do totally nothing helps me feel a bit more recharged. But I really haven't cracked it at all so if you find something that works, please share!Rachel ¦¦ A Nesting Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457683109401016555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-49731016965133157572015-03-25T14:22:53.125-05:002015-03-25T14:22:53.125-05:00oh gosh, constantly!!

Sometimes I thrive when I'm busy, other times I need to have more down time than not. Good for you for not slacking on working out - I definitely slack there first.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125290724625391990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-22796626963347039162015-03-24T12:43:33.963-05:002015-03-24T12:43:33.963-05:00I can definitely relate to this!

It is hard sometimes to get motivated to work out...however I know that once I'm done I will feel a million times better.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-66346669249093973222015-03-24T11:21:02.713-05:002015-03-24T11:21:02.713-05:00I understand this! It's hard (really hard) to ...I understand this! It's hard (really hard) to have anything to look forward to when life consists of mostly chores and a sucky job and no friends. Usually when I have that big a list of things I "must" do I pick one thing every day (or every other day) to do until I knock the list out. It's too daunting to tackle something like that all in one or two days! Plus, you should take some time to enjoy your spring break. Not everyone gets one ;)Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-81603228953503038052015-03-24T10:13:18.686-05:002015-03-24T10:13:18.686-05:00I would give my right arm for a week at home to re...I would give my right arm for a week at home to regroup right now. I put too much on my plate recently and that actually de-motivates me. I need balance.

Your idea of using spring break to recharge and reassess sounds like the perfect plan. <br /><br />Maybe plan one day of your break as a super productive day. Make a list, run those errands, grab an extra special cup of coffee, paint the bar cart and plan for the weekend. Then plan a day of just lazy do nothing to compensate. That way you'll feel l accomplished but also rested and rejuvenated. <br /><br />Make a list and then slowly mark things off. My favorite quote when things get crazy is "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time". You've got this, lady! :)!P!nkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193703533246466440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-20487953310248102762015-03-24T07:53:34.810-05:002015-03-24T07:53:34.810-05:00I'm with you on the "i'm so busy I do...I'm with you on the "i'm so busy I don't even know what to do so might as well do nothing" thing. I saw this tweet (bloglovin' tweeted out your post) when I was laying in bed this morning trying to will myself to get up and take Bailey for a walk. J has a meeting today and will be out of the house longer than I'd like B to be alone right now (still adjusting to apartment living), but I was seriously considering skipping my run...again. But that tweet made me go. Sitting down now and reading this post makes me glad I'm not alone in feeling like I just don't want to do ANYTHING. I'm totally with you on the whole stay put during a break thing. The best breaks for me are when I get to stay home and relax.Joey Hodges https://www.blogger.com/profile/03924167639294786738noreply@blogger.com
