I am having a massive case of fuzzy brain, lazy ass, 'senior' moments- whatever you want to call it. I feel like I am becoming more and more forgetful and lazy- and less productive and active.
It's the worst feeling. Sometimes I feel like a slug. (And no, I am not pregnant.) While I have had lazy, messy and forgetful moments in my life- don't get me wrong- they have been just that- MOMENTS. They haven't been words that I'd describe myself on a regular basis.
But this morning I did something for the first time- I missed a meeting- I didn't put it on my calendar and got into work 30 minutes late. I ran into the meeting and just felt useless.
You could say, one meeting- no big deal. But it is a big deal. I've never let my laziness and forgetfulness impact my work performance. At least, not like that.
In a side conversation last week, one of my co-workers was giving a tirade about how lazy Americans are. Ugg. I hate generalizations, but I have to say- I am starting to feel like a big LAZY Ass and I am American- so you could call me a Big Lazy American. Whenever I can I've logged an unbelievable number of hours on my couch lately.
I like my couch. I like my TV shows. I like cuddling with Mr. Spice, Huck and occasionally Ferris. When did I become a home body? I live in a City. A City that has restaurants packed most nights when I am sitting on my crusty old brown couch.
So my questions is: how do I get out of this lazy ass, forgetful routine? What have you done that revitalizes your mind and body? Something that lasts and encourages you to turn off the boob tube, get off the computer and get engaged with your life?

I don't know, but if you figure it out will you let me know? I've been feeling a lot of that myself lately. However - I'm leaving my job, moving in a month, and get to take two weeks to go visit family. So that's my current way to get myself off the couch. However, that is not sustainable in the long run. And I fear I will be back on the couch soon after the move when the job hunt gets me depressed. Sigh. So instead of thinking about that, I'm going to try and focus on the fun month ahead of me.
Triathlon. Getting involved in triathlons has changed my life. It is exciting and active and makes me feel great about myself. It is also terrifying and exhausting at times but I've never been more happy with life. I'm not out to dinner with friends at 9pm (I'm in bed) but I am up at 5am in the park cycling and meeting new people.
I have no advice, but I feel the exact same way! If you figure out a good solution, please let me know!
i feel the same way too.
Purposeless and unmotivated. Lazy.
not constantly, but consistently and I'm ashamed of how it has affected my work and home life. It's a funk.
It's especially hard for me (maybe you feel like this too) because my husband is in full time graduate and LOVES what he's studying. he's always being productive and always motivated.
It's enough to cause a break down
Sorry no words of wisdom, but I'm going to keep checking back on this post to glean from your readers!
So happy to hear that I am not alone on the lazy ass adventure. I'll keep you ladies informed on my progress!!
I'm happy I'm not the only one who has to preface any conversation about being tired or feeling lazy with "and no I'm not pregnant". Apparently utero-watch 2010 has commenced and everyone I know is waiting for my husband and I to conceive.
I've been in a major funk lately. I feel really lethargic and just meh about things I used to be all over. I've started learning how to sew to keep myself busy and am going back to school soon so hopefully that will help! You're definitely not alone on the lazy train!
Hmmm...If anything I am feeling mixed at the moment. Maybe it's cause we have such cold, harsh winters here in NYC, but summer energizes me. I want to be outside walking around as much as possible. Come Novemmber/December I hibernate for months (other than the gym). Do you have friends that you can encourage each other to plan and do things? Do you have certain things/places to go that you have been itching to go to? Make a list and go! I think you are fantabulously lucky living in the SF area. Just driving a 1/2 hour out of town, you have so much natural beauty to see and things to do.
Right now I feel like summer is slipping away and so I have a list of a few things that I do want to do before it comes to an end. Also I have to admit that blogging makes me feel productive, but I guess that's because most of what I post about requires me to get out and see and enjoy my city. Perhaps maybe you could post some things about cool design in SF and what people are doing (don't mind me if you have done this). I so love your design posts, since we pretty much have the same taste. ;)
Good luck!!
I've been feeling like this every night after work. There are a million things I want to do and plan to do but after walking Izzy I just veg on the couch.
I have been trying to get to the gym during the day which does help with laziness after work.
