I don’t consider myself a very lazy person. If there are things that need to be done, I get them done. For example, for the majority, all my blog posts are prescheduled, and I usually write posts about once a week.
But this is totally different.
In the summer I just can’t focus, it’s not even because of the ‘summer’ mentality where I just want to lie around. I wouldn’t mind that, but I just can’t work in this heat. I only have a very small list of things that I need to do during the day, because the motivation just isn’t there for more than that. It’s so darn hot, today it’s around 90 degrees, and without a good ventilation system or an air conditioner, it’s been a struggle.
I’m not used to it, and it’s really affecting my productivity. It’s affecting all aspects of my life. I am sleeping outside because it is way too hot outside, and I always wake up really early due to the sunshine and the heat, so my sleep is disturbed (also throughout the night since it’s loud and not always completely dark). I never want to eat hot food or even cook because it produces so much heat that is just really hard to filter out of the apartment once it’s in. If I open the hall door and the front door and balcony door then I can get a breeze going, IF there’s one.
I am not cut out for the heat. Which is totally true, because the heat is my least favorite temperature. Additionally summer is my least favorite season, because of the heat. If it never went above 25 during the day then I would enjoy it, but it’s rows of days like today that I just can’t. I also hate sweating! It makes me feel grimy and what not.
So to say the least, productivity is down, which isn’t good in general, but especially not when I have a paper due August 10….It’s a real struggle. I’ve done most of my work for the day, but for the next hour, I am going to work on doing blog posts.
Wish me luck.
