It starts with a good song

You have something to do, you really need to get it done. Actually, you have an entire list of things to do, that you do really need to get done. You have the day off, so it's your chance to get that list taken care of! But wouldn't it be nice to spend that day off relaxing? Enjoy a book, play with your dog in the sun, watch your favorite show (or whatever terrible show that happens to be on), or take a much needed nap.
   But wait, no, you have these things to get done. A whole list. Where do you get the motivation? There is that song, that  gets you pumped up, right, maybe you even have two or three songs that have that effect on you. So let's get a good playlist going. And you should shower now because if you start on your list first, you'll be too tired when you're done to care terribly about your hygiene. So take a shower, do your hair somewhat nice (that matters, right?). Hell, put some makeup on, 'cause looking good makes you feel good. Then get started on that list. Don't even look at your bed, and how invitingly comfortable it looks. Yeah, you should probably make up your bed, but that's too risky, especially with that book sitting on the table beside it. Don't even go in the TV room (or to wherever you keep your junk food). Just go right where you need to go, where your list requires you to be. And just do it. Just. Start.

  Or, you can stop by your computer and sit down for a moment, check your email. The cat may take his chance to steal your lap and doze off, I guess you're stuck in that chair for a while. Might as well stop by Facebook... No, Facebook is a ridiculous waste of time and energy (what energy? Mental energy). But hey, that blog you barely ever go on. You can check up on your blog. Shit, you may as well start a new one. That song to pump you up has already played, and now you have something a bit more relaxing on. Hm. Well, then, now that you have some chill music, a snoozing cat on your lap (did I forget to mention the freshly brewed coffee that is sitting on your desk?), and your new blog started, you might as well start writing. If you happen to forget the time, and finish writing just about time for the day to end, well then, I suppose your list of things you really need to get done will have to wait for your next day off, next week.

Oh shit, you forgot the laundry.
