Lack of motivation - give in or fight it?

If you have sunny weather like me I would sit in the garden and enjoy it. It won’t last much longer and you will be doing something healthy like absorbing Vitamin D.

After the summer you have just described, I would certainly give myself a fortnight's holiday!

Probably give in and do something I want to do, like read a book. I only fight the inertia if it's ongoing for days and I'm getting nothing done. That's when it becomes pure laziness

Yup, me too

Start writing your life story?

You made me feel better

Relax and recharge before it all starts up again that way your ready and raring to go.

A good book in the garden. There will soon be wet autumn and winter days when you will think longingly of the sun on your face. I give myself little tasks such as walking to the local shop, putting washing in the machine, then reward myself with a book and vitamin D.

We're busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do
We're busy goin' nowhere
Isn't it just a crime
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time

It's good for you to occasionally give up and do very little. We need to recharge out batteries sometimes. That's my excuse for not doing much.

I agree it’s therapeutic.Reading a book is always time well spent in any case.😊

You sound tired.

No harm in just resting. Take time for yourself and let your mind settle.
