Where Did Bob Go?

Honestly I have been asking myself that same question over and over again. Just a month ago or so I came back from CES and was really charged up to really get things going with ThinkComputers and this blog along with some other things. Well pretty much I’ve had the most unmotivated month of my life, the motivation is just not there. Let’s first start off with me moving. I recently moved, but not to another apartment, back home. The reason I moved back home is because I want a roommate and I have to wait for my friends lease to be up so we can get a place in the city. There was no point in me trying to get a place for 4 months or him trying to get out of his lease. So this is a temporary situation, but it is still kind of hard. I haven’t lived at home since I was 18 so it is taking some time to adjust, also its taking time to adjust to the smaller space. The actual move home was not that bad, most of my things went into storage. But it just took a lot of time, time that I could have been working on other things.

Another thing that I have noticed a lot is that I get tired really easily. This is because I haven’t been easting the best food for myself, and I haven’t gone to the gym in about 2 months. That needs to change! Since moving back home I have joined a gym around here and I have started back to eating food that is better for me. This should definitely help out with that! If anyone is in the North Hills area I joined Fitness 19 in McIntyre square. It is a pretty nice gym and you can’t beat the price!

So how am I going to get this motivation back, like I said I joined a gym and I’m starting to eat better, but that isn’t going to cut it. I need to make the best out of my current living situation, make my room a place of relaxation where I can really think straight. I plan on getting some posters and things like that to give the place a better feel. Also another thing I’m going to do to get myself motivated is print out pictures of the things I want. Like a picture of the car I want, a picture of the beach for vacation, etc. This way while I’m working I can look at those pictures and know what I’m doing has a purpose. Hopefully I can get back on a roll and back to the normal Bob that we all know, wish me luck!!

    Bob, you’re just lazy.

    Moving back home can be really tough, I’ve been there, done that. Hope you can stay positive and keep focused, because when living at home life seems to turn into a time warp. When I graduated from college I basically had 4 months of my life disappear on me without even realizing it. My biggest tip is do as much as you can to make it not feel like a temporary living arrangement, that feeling alone would drive me insane.

    Couldn’t you have just stayed at your old place for four months before going to a new place with your friend?

    Motivation is always tough when you work at home — believe me, I know — but you’ve got to keep your eyes on the prize and be thankful for what you already have. It’s important to have goals and direction, but I also find that the reward is not so rewarding after it has been attained. It’s much more about the journey.

    Oh dang, didn’t know you moved back home, I bet that is way different.

    I like your idea about printing out pictures of the things you want. I think I might try that myself.
