Seasonal Lack of Motivation for a WAHM
I am not quite sure why, but every year around Feb, March and April I fall into the blaahhhs.
I start the year out well, dare I even say, on fire, but then the middle of February it seems that I have no motivation. It seems I struggle through these months. As can be seen by the lack of entries in my blog lately.
This year seems especially difficult. It is just 10 weeks until we move. Not just across town, mind you, but across country.
So I need to find my focus. I need to write. I need to blog. Blogging is very therapeutic for me. It is like my mini motivator. Though I may not have a readership in the hundreds like others, it is just the fact that I can share thoughts, ideas and dare I say it motivation!
This is my source of income. Not my blog, but my online endeavors. I need to become more focused and more regimented.
Maybe that is my issue. I need to find more structure. I know many Work At Home Moms work at home to avoid just that. But when providing a service and fulfilling contracts, one has to start scheduling. I have tried to implement a daily schedule, but things come up. Neighbors drop in, friends call, I have to run out and do errands. These are the things that distract me. I really need to do away with these kind of things.
As far as motivation? Well I need to work on it. I guess maybe I will go back to the dress for success and daily blogging. If I make myself do it for a day or so, it really does become easier and easier!
So tell me, do you find troubles with motivation at certain times of year? How do you work through it? Share tips with me! Would love to hear how other WAHMs deal!







what a great, open and honest blog entry. I think most WAHMs get the blahhhh’s every now and again. I had them about a month ago and I just rode it out.
I have to say, you are an EXCELLENT writer and I love using your services.
Usually when I feel like I’ve hit a wall, I just to write down what I’d like to have accomplished in a certain time frame then I just work on it as I feel like it
Good luck to you and I’ll be back for more articles soon

I suffer from seasonal depression. I generally start coming out of mine in the spring at some point. I also think there are a lot of allergy triggers (for me anyway) at that time that affect my mood.
Good luck!
