Excuses why I havn't been writing

Reasons to not be writing.  Or procrastination not quite certain which.

I haven't managed to move my writing forward for a few weeks. I tell myself if because i am so very busy for now and will get back to it soon.

So why have I been to busy to meet a self imposed target of 2 hours four days a week as a minimum?

  1. I have a job that I struggling to learn and taking home study, leaving me stressed and mentally exhausted.
  2. A need to read and study to lift my writing skills so I feel better about what I am writing.
  3. Having to job search as I am underemployed  according to the welfares departments criteria.
  4. Learning to use a  Apple Mac which I purchased used to use as a writing platform only.
  5. lack of time management skill
I wrote down the above reason's so I can look at them  objectively, weigh what I have stated and consider the truth.
 
So now I believe the reason for not writing for me now are really minor excuses.

  • Stress and lack of focus
  • Lack of time management
  • Lack self determination
  • The need to learn the new job is leaving me mentally worn
  • Keep chasing other jobs is leaving me mentally worn
This has become a circle off events.

If I was working full time that problem would on;ly have lasted a couple of weeks. However the job is a couple off half days a week some weeks, That allows me to forget part of what I learn every time.

My time management skills are adversely affected by outside factors

Self determination is adversely affected by outside factors

The need to learn the job is a constant for now

I have had the looking for jobs removed from my employment criteria having convinced them the job I have meets the criteria.

The circle is broken.

Now I can concentrate on a time effective plan. Mostly I must do what I must when I decide to do so.

Can it really be that simple?
