Anyone else feel unmotivated?

Every single day. 

Things that get me going are:

If guests are coming I will clean the house. Sometimes I purposely arrange a visit to get the house clean.

Telling myself to get off my a**e out loud

Making lists and picking some quick easy ones to start

I've always been in awe of people who "take care of business" and "get things done".

Weirdly, I was pretty good when I used to work, but that was a paid job.

I find that doing something for the benefit of someone else is always far, far easier than doing something to benefit myself, no matter who they are. I guess that partly it's because all of the decision making is taken out of my hands, so I don't get trapped in my usual procrastination. I don't suppose that my problems with self-esteem help too much, either.

I like having people visit too - it encourages me to clean! I have an odd form of OCD where I'm obsessed with wanting everything to be perfectly clean and tidy, but never have the time or energy to achieve it.

I clean my home before guests come as well. When I had a care worker to meet a couple of times a week I was a bit more motivated to do stuff. I find I want someone to talk to about stuff I've done, otherwise it feels unreal somehow.
