Lack of Motivation

One area I struggle with is lack of motivation to do things.  This is more of an issue at home.  It is a strong, behavior controlling mindset.

First, you must understand that when I face this absence of desire and motivation to do anything, it has nothing to do with the weather.  Even the most beautifully sunny and pleasant day will cause me to feel no more motivation, even though my wife expects it to.

Part of the problem here could be my overall health.  I am overweight and primarily sedentary.  Therefore, I seldom feel high energy levels.  In addition, I sometimes feel just a little bit off, and that is sometimes worse on Saturday (the big work at home day).

Is it possible for motivation to show up?  Yes if I have a definite responsibility or deadline that I must meet, then once I get started, my motivation might increase and I will get the job done.  But, if there is no immediate deadline for completing various tasks, then it is not likely i will be breaking any records getting it done.

Thanks for reading.  By the way, I am looking for some helpful ideas for motivation.
