Motivation.My wife and one of our friends says the same thing. It is very difficult to stay focused and actually do work. It's difficult to care.
- We just moved, so I'd rather be unpacking and organizing our stuff.
- I'm sitting at my home PC, where I normally work on fun projects that I care about, or play games, etc. There are two projects I am itching to do right now that I could be doing at my computer, but instead, I'm reading work emails.
- I am admittedly a bit burnout from my actual job right now.
- Three cats who want to climb all over me and my computer desk all day, and a dog who wants to play and go outside all provide excellent distractions.
If anything, maybe it's just too easy. There's no grist, no driving out, no parking, no meal hunting. The lack of movement makes one lazy, which becomes a feedback loop of no movement. It's similar to how in college study weeks, it's easy to just sit in bed with a laptop all day and yet get nothing done.
