I felt more productive today than I have in a while, but there is still so much I need to get done. I kind of feel like I have been burning myself out at both ends between work, school, and just generally trying to be a present human being and I can just feel myself getting more and more tired. But I have three weeks until spring break where I can hit reset and actually have time to get my life on track.

I’ve just been so tired and I have so very little motivation to get my work done, so I pretty much just went to class and then came back to the apartment and watched TV. Tomorrow after work, I really need to get my act together and work on school, but I just know that that will be a struggle.

Today I made the decision to be more productive, hence why I am restarting my productivity challenge. Maybe this time I will actually do all 100 days (that will honestly be my biggest accomplishment to date). I’ve just been having no motivation to really do anything, which is a problem, but I know that doing this challenge really helped me so *hopefully* doing this will help keep me more accountable for my work.
