I'm pursuing a graduate degree part-time, and it's down to the major paper. I'm having a really hard time, after a full day of a challenging job that combines managing people, creative work, and strategic/tactical problem-solving, to find it in me to work on the degree. Ideas for re-energizing?
I'm not facing a notional/motivation barrier where I don't like the subject or the work. I actually enjoy it when I'm doing it. I'm clear on my goals, the the benefits of doing this -- there's no question about seeing the value. But after 8-9 hour work days, I have dinner and then I just want to read, or play games, or watch something instead of re-activating for more time doing brain stuff.
Coffee and naps are out -- they completely shred my night sleep. Morning is cats/exercise/chore time. I really am looking for ways to re-fortify my brain for mental work in the evening.
What has worked for you to give yourself renewed focus and energy for mental work in the evening when you feel like you've tapped that out during the day? |
