With no prompt to guide me in this entry, I discuss motivation and how it can be difficult to find it when the finish line is in sight.

I’m pretty burnt-out on this quarter, it’s been long considering how short it’s been. I feel ready to just give up but I know that I just have to push through these next few weeks, buckle down and get things done. It’s hard to find the motivation at this point which is kind of strange considering how close I am. I guess it makes sense though, this mentality can be applied to a lot of things in my life, for instance, exercise. When I can see the finish line, or the end of a set, or the last 10m of the field in a sprint set, I lose a lot of motivation. Despite the fact that I know I am physically capable of completing it, there is a mental block that is put up that tells me to just quit. It is much the same with this quarter, now that the end is nearly here, I can’t help but want to just lay down and give up. So, what is the solution? Step up, buckle down, and finish the set, the sprint, the quarter.
