I notice when I tag posts as "motivation" I'm struggling with it for that time. And when I'm struggling with it I haven't done baby-basic things like drinking water regularly and plain-basic stuff like doing my daily stuff at their usual time. I'm distracted by new shiny things I would like to spend time undulging. I want to write about learning fighting games like a toddler showing a random shiny rock to a grown up, but there's no one to fein praise. I want to spend all day rereading Dragon Knights side stories in GBF, I want to play through ReLink for the DK appearances. But I want to work on my manuscripts, and work on my Draw a Box stuff too.
Time feels like it speeds along and I'm working in slow-motion. I wonder if I should focus on one thing and dabble in the rest. I thought doing things bit by bit would be motivating enough, but not when it feels like I'm not making progress. Just this week, I'll mostly focus on the manuscript and dabble in Draw a Box homework and see how I feel.
