It is so difficult to get moving when you stop to think about EVERYTHING that needs done, but inaction certainly doesn't help, does it? I allow myself a little pity party now and again, but then I make myself get up and DO something...research for the paper, answer questions off of the CD for the chapters we're doing in our text, work dosage problems -- something that moves me ahead just a bit....it's not always easy, but once I start making some headway, it makes moving on even easier....and hey, for most of us, we're on the downside and get a break for several weeks....now THAT'S some motivation!! Best wishes all!
