Managing motivation

By the time I've done all the things I have to do, I often have little energy left, but I always go for a walk, unless the weather's so bad Fearn won't go out. Make sure I've done any laundry, do any shopping that needs doing, cook whatever food needs cooking and sort the chickens out. I pretty much do all that on auto-pilot, it's a rare day when I don't have a load of stuff that needs doing.

There is a saying that “if you need something done, ask a busy person”. It sounds like a contradiction but can be true.

I have found it easier to maintain long established daily/weekly routines/tasks. If I neglect something it is more difficult to get back in the habit.
