This morning I was faced with a mountain of work. Papers to sort through, articles to read, and more!
My brain took one look at it all and took a negative turn to the right (as if my brain is a separate entity and not related to me). She (the brain) started to moan and whine … “I don’t feel like working. It’s Sunday. Why do I have to work?”
So, just for giggles and kicks, I thought I’d help her (my brain) out. Try to motivate her (me, really).
I searched for work quotes hoping that I would stumble upon one or maybe even two that would connect me to my brain and kick us both in the tush – into work gear. Wowzer, I hit the jackpot. Here follow …
