GrabASnickers 02/16/21 8:00:39 PM #1:	Like eating junk food, drinking soda, looking at my phone all the time, etc. It was easier to not do these things as much when I had to go in to work and had the prospect of having more people to judge and motivate me (plus just the general better mood of not being in a pandemic). I feel like I had it figured out early in the pandemic, but either winter or pandemic fatigue set in and it's so difficult now. Not that I ever really loved winter but this has been the toughest by far.

GrabASnickers 02/16/21 9:03:06 PM #7:	My point is that you have a tendency to post a lot of unwanted, unhelpful advice, and this isn't the worst of it, but considering how long you've been doing it despite how often people tell you that they really don't find it useful, I don't have a lot of patience for it. Sometimes people just want to vent on the board and aren't looking for an armchair therapy session dude. Plus from you it usually comes off less as genuinely wanting to help people but instead about projecting an image that you have your life together <cite>GrabASnickers posted [p:950718563] in Pandemic h...

GrabASnickers 02/16/21 9:17:02 PM #9:	I'm not literally incapable of motivating myself but I don't think that wanting to be around other people as motivation is necessarily a bad thing. For example at work we used to have a big board for people to put personal goals on. When we started working from home I still worked on and finished my goal but it just isn't the same knowing that people could no longer walk by and read it every day, or likewise not have myself walking by and possibly gaining inspiration from what others put down. <cite>GrabASnickers posted [p:950719047] in Pandemic h...

Not that I ever really loved winter but this has been the toughest by far. Hopefully things will start to look up once I can get outdoors more often I think it is also hard because every thing takes place in your home now. There is no separation of activities. And since everything takes place in one place there is no change of scenery to reset your frame of mind. So if you feel unmovitivated it feels like you just sit in it. --- Metroids Suck <cite>DrPrimemaster posted [p:950730115] in Pandemic h...
