XP - Staying motivated at work?

GreenBride624

Hi!  This is my first post on this board - I just noticed that there is a board for working mamas!  I have been back at work since the end of September.

I am really struggling with staying motivated at work!  I can't tell if it is b/c of DD or because of my new job position - I changed positions right after I came back to work.

Anybody else feel unmotivated?  What do you do to stay motivated and on-task at work?

Me! But that's because my job is pretty boring. Sometimes I'm busy but I have a lot of down-time. Thank goodness for The Bump!!

I look forward to the end to the end of the day when I can pick up my cuddle bug from day care. I don't really want to be here, but I have to be so I don't like to dwell.

When you figure it out, let me know.  The only thing that motivates me is deadlines, but actually, maybe not so much since I have a big one today and am still on thebump.

lol me too! Now that I've found the message boards, I have a hard time staying focused on work lol. But I get it done.  Plus my day is broken up a lot with pump breaks , so the next thing I know, its time to leave and see my baby girl!!!

I sometimes find it hard to stay focused at work.  I actually prefer it to be EXTREMELY busy, that way I have no time to think about anything else but work, work, work.  I also keep telling myself that I am working to provide for LO...and me and DH, too.  And good friends at work always keep me sane.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!  I'm motivated by deadlines too but like you said, even when they come up, I still procrastinate. It is usually for projects where I don't know where to start.
