Thoughts on my motivation

Just a few days ago, my sister left for Arizona, returning for her final year of college. She'd come back home for some time to be with family. And with her going back, our parents decided to go with her for a few days to help her move back in. With them gone, me and my brother are left to hold down the fort for a short while.

It's about three days since their departure, and something has occurred that happens each and everytime I'm away from my parents for a period of time. I become increasingly productive. In just a short time, I go from lazily moving throughout my day to waking up thinking about what needs to be done that day. What errands should I run? Do the plants need to be watered? Did the dishwasher clean the dishes last night? Does the car need gas soon? Is my phone bill up soon?

No doubt, this is much different from my standard self; A version of me that finds it hard to even get out of bed in the morning. Even now, I can feel it. The urge to take care of things I've been needed to do. And I'll go do them.

But not right now. Because it's 4:00 in the morning and I ain't got time for that. Who knows? For my next change, maybe I'll suddenly start going to bed on time.

Just some thoughts from me.
