Time is going to take my mind

I’ve got more time on my hands than a worker at a mint manufacturing facility. (You see what I just did there? I just made a pun with the words time and thyme.) I have all the time in the world yet little motivation to accomplish anything.

Here’s what a typical day looks like for me:

1 pm- Wake up…I am actually being generous to myself. The past couple of days I haven’t woken up until 2.

1pm-4am- Watch tv. Stare at my computer screen blankly anticpating a post on Facebook or an email. Read ESPN. Play basketball. Play Madden. Read 3 pages in a book then play some more Madden.

4 am- Revisit the same websites I have already visited ten times today.

4:45 am- Join Alice in Wonderland.

There is this little obstacle I face called “effort”. Everyone is good at doing at least one thing effortlessly. Some people can play an instrument with hardly any effort. Others can write 10 pages and 50 emails like it’s a walk in the park. I try to find something I can do effortlessly but even that requires too much effort. As a matter of fact, these past 50 words have really winded me. I might need to take a Hot Pocket break…hmmm, directions: Open Hot Pocket package. Insert into toilet. Yum.

Unfortunately for me, sleeping is effortless. If I get much more beauty sleep, though, I’m gonna have to start modeling for Abercrombie. What I need is a good motivational tool. What does it take to get motivated? What can I do to get the ball rolling, inertia started, the chips falling? What do highly successful people like Donald Trump (ha) do? Oh what I would do for the motivation and discipline to consistently wake up every morning at 5 am instead of going to bed at 5 am.
