What are you trying to psych yourself up to do?

I am always trying to persuade myself to do something. I am still looking for my birth certificate and today was my self imposed deadline to find it or else, have to order..but we will see on that. I guess I haven't quite given up, but it has to be soon. It will probably take awhile to get it processed and mailed to me. I just am on the couch taking surveys and mylotting after what was a busy morning and early afternoon, but am having a hard time to get motivated. I guess I will give myself another half an hour, or at least 20 minutes. Are you trying to psych yourself up to do anything?

I just was working on it a bit. I am really afraid this is a lost cause though. I would be surprised if I found it.

@snowy22315 Your backup plan is brilliant and absolutely the right move. Requesting a fresh, official copy from the government is the fastest way to resolve this stress and get exactly what you need. However, I still hope you manage to find the original somewhere around the house.

Always housework. I do get some things done, though. I do set timers sometimes to get things done.

I guess you really put that birth certificate in such a safe place even you can't find it. Hope it shows up so you don't have to order a new one.
I've been trying to psyche myself up to call and see if I can have a mobile lab come and do my blood work so I don't have to go all the way to the lab and have it done. I keep putting off calling

I like to see classic laughs shows and pray that events will be in favor by working on sharing news stories and playing computer games to keep my mind active.

I am sure it will help you be productive. Why did you quit working?

@LadyDuck Maybe you should try to find a support group. I am sure you are not the only one in that boat. Some days I am very happy just to go to bed..and relax with my Kindle. I feel safe and unbothered there, unless friend starts ringing my phone off the hook.

I hate having to look for documents too. I also had to look for my birth certificate a while back. I did find it.

I am going up to PA at the beginning of August. I will try to get it up there will be the cheapest way. I think I might be able to find it by then unless it got tossed accidentally

If there is something pending, I have it at the back of my mind till it is resolved.
Though I am retired, so many things pop up that test my patience but I psych myself up with a take there is no one else to do what I have to do. So just get it over with ASAP!

I'm just trying to get myself to promote my music more, perform more, record more, keep writing those music reviews so I can truly enter the music journalism world, finish a bunch of these unfinished books I started writing, my attention span keeps getting the best of me.

Every day. I am always so tired from lack of sleep, that most days I just vegetate. I have several things I should be doing.

@LindaOHio What is the latest with your kidney surgery? The docs should be able to prescribe something to you for sleep. If it was me, I would be asking them.

I know that feeling! Sometimes it's harder to motivate yourself for paperwork and searches than for bigger tasks. Hopefully your birth certificate turns up soon, but if not, at least ordering a new one will get the process moving.
