Motivation or the lack thereof

 One thing I notice about being retired: I don’t have deadlines. Well … not like I did before. No one asking me to create a learning path or some code by such-and-such date. No conferences for which I need to prepare. No customer visits to schedule. Just me and my day-to-day activities. The only deadlines are things like a dentist visit, the car in for an oil change, regular stuff like that.

Which is nice, but at the same time, there’s not “I need to get this done during the weekend when I have time” any more. So the things that I used to rush to get done are now being left “for later”.

The challenge is this: Get that fire of productivity burning inside me.
