it's hard to find motivation some mornings when your day revolves around the small confines of a bedroom. working remotely, without the distractions of kids or a partner, it's just me and my thoughts in this cloistered space. the idea of waking up, pulling myself out from under the warm covers... well, let's say it's not exactly appealing. eventually, i'll open my eyes and them to a screen for that standup meeting (with the lap top still perched on top of my sheets). but each morning feels like a rising tide that i have to combat just to get started.
