That Certain Lack of Motivation

Everyone has those days. Where you want to do absolutely nothing, possibly with the exception of curling of up with a good book and reading all day mixed with some sleep. These days are becoming exceptionally more abundant in my life recently. Can't seem to find the motivation for things that need to get done. I know that I have homework to do, a room to clean, and food to eat, but I just don't feel like it.
I never get to homework until the night before it is due, even though I have had the assignment for at least a week. My room is so cluttered and a disaster area that it has begun to bug me, and that is saying something. I have come to the conclusion that 90% of the time that I eat is simply because I know that I should, not because I am honestly hungry.
I constantly plan nights for "me" in order to catch up on thing but I end up finding something else to do, hang out with friends or sleep or go shopping or something that is counterproductive to getting things accomplished.
I'm not sure why this is but it is getting annoying because I am getting tired of pulling all-nighters in order to get homework done at the last minute.
So, in conclusion I am adding something to my resolutions from my previous post. I will no longer wait until the last minute to do things, I will work on them gradually throughout the time span that I have the assignment.

Time for the New Year

I know it is a little late to be making a resolution, but I don't care. I am going to make one anyway, but first I will explain...
When the New Year came around, I wasn't in the best of moods, with the exception of just having gone to a youth conference in K.C., so I didn't want to make any resolutions. I didn't want to pick my "word" for the year. I wanted to live in the past and make everything go back to the way it was.
Now that I am done with "living in the past" and finally seem ready for the New Year (now that it is almost Valentines Day) I will make my resolutions and pick my word for the year.
I am just going to make a list of resolutions, rather than try to make coherent sentences. (oh, and by the way, if you are reading this, you are signing up as the committee to hold me to these. THANKS!)
+ Grow in my relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ
+ look at things from the positive side
+ take better care of myself
+ dress nicer
+ eat healthier
+ exercise
+ help others, but keep time for myself
+read for fun more often (I have a huge reading list for this year, consisting of about 15 or so books. Can I get it done?)
+ meet new people!
Ok, I think that is it for goals for the year, excluding school stuff. I WILL stick to this. As for my word for this year... hmm... I haven't really given much thought to this one... hmm... umm... I have to say "growth". Growth in many ways. Probably ways I don't even know of yet.
I am, as of right now, looking forward to this year, 2010. Bring it on!
