PTotD: Unmotivated at work.

I like my job, for the most part. I work with great, intelligent people and often get to tackle interesting questions. But like any job it has its ups and downs. And right now while I’m working on something that should be by rights fascinating, I’m experiencing a huge lull in my motivation. In fact when I woke up this morning after more than 8 hours in bed I just wanted to sleep a few more hours.

But my job is very performance oriented (feedback oriented) and I can’t afford to have even one study where I’m slacking off. And I feel that I am now. It’s so frustrating.

Do I need to give myself a kick in the pants? Or am I being too hard on myself? Normally for me it’s the latter because I have really high expectations of myself… but right now I just really want to get on a plane, fly home and watch everything that’s left on my TiVo.
