What is the motivation?

In Reply to: question for VR editors - kkmiausa
I had nothing to do with being outsourced to VR, not my choice but it came. I have worked in this business since the 70s- outsourced twice and I care nothing about pounding the pavement in my late 50s to look for another job- I stayed with the company outsourced to. I love VR (some straight) and can hit over 600 lines an hour on VR which adds up to a good salary for me and what I want and need. VR is not going to take the place of editors- the system 1 month will start making same mistake over and over that has not been there say 4 months ago so a human still has to listen and change. I get occasional straight typing. Why, oh why should I refuse to work for a company so you can be satisfied or happy? I owe you nor any other MT I know anything. I work to satisfy myself and my family. I have the job I love and hope it continues on. By the way MTs have been fussing for some time about the possibility of things like this. I would suggest younger MTs if they think this is the case- find SOMETHING else to do. My golly. Why would a person sit around on the Titanic when you think there might be an end you might not like?? I myself very satisfied. Thank you!

motivation, anyone?
Please, I desperately need some motivational tips...I have been in a funk for quite a while now and can't seem to get over it. Plus, I am in the middle of moving--yuck--and trying to pack, clean, cook, work, etc...AHHH, the list goes on and on and on... Thanks for "listening", just had to vent...but your tips are more than welcome and appreciated!!!  this is what's gonna happen to me...any second now!!!
no motivation
motivation
That is my goal. It is really a simple, obvious solution but man is it hard to actually do it--I have yet to achieve this. Thanks for letting me know that it has actually been done by a for-real MT! So easy to let it take over your whole day/week/life. And it is never enough. I want to be like you when I grow up. :-)
I have motivation and it is
my $$$ and I do make a decent salary, made even more in the past when I had more than 1 job but cut back on my own. I could care less about a pat on the back- higher ups are not there to give huggies - my goodness, do your job, do it well and enjoy what you can buy with the money you make or get a third job if 2 jobs are not enough.....
motivation
This sounds crazy to me. In the time it takes you to push a button, reload your change ect., you could be typing more lines. But if this works for you great! To me it sounds like a waste of time.
my motivation: you don't work, you don't eat
simple, eh?
Yeppers! Same motivation of me too! LOL nm
.
I'll take some of that motivation, too.
My neighbors were fighting all night after I stayed up too late discussing our home remodel with DH. I can't bring myself to get busy this morning. I want to go back to bed after only two hours of sleep in a row last night. I'm also excited because if we do an addition on the house, I get my own office with a closing, locking door. I'd rather be drawing up floorplans and taking a nice long bath than working.
I used to go to the gym, but lost motivation - so now
I have a treadmill and an exercise bike in the house and I'll jump on them for 10 minutes at a time throughout the day - it's a good break from work and the time adds up. I only do 30-40 minutes 5 times a week, but it has helped me stay in shape! I also lift 5 lb. weights a few times a week - nothing strenuous, just a few arm exercises my brother, who is a personal trainer, taught me. Good luck - I know it's hard when that fridge is there all day long. I tend to eat when I'm stressed so it is particularly difficult on certain days.
MOTIVATION, HMMMMMMMMM
Salary for food, clothing, housing- work equals this. I think simple deduction.
coffee motivation
ok I feel sooo unmotivated to work even when I am right in front of my computer. I am just off task, thinking about other things. I lack the focus and brain energy to type. When I drink strong coffee or energy drinks, I am super productive. I enjoy typing and get lots done when I have been using caffeine. What is going on here?
caffeine motivation
ok I feel sooo unmotivated to work even when I am right in front of my computer. I am just off task, thinking about other things. I lack the focus and brain energy to type. When I drink strong coffee or energy drinks, I am way more focused and productive. I enjoy typing and get lots done when I have been using caffeine. What is going on here?
That's not a bad idea actually--good motivation! (nm)

motivation or lack thereof....
Do i totally understand! I have been doing this for 10+ years and keeping the production up lately has been a real struggle, not only financially but emotionally. Hence, I am returning to school. It is giving me something else to focus on - a goal. Otherwise, I feel like I will be typing the rest of my life. Take some time off??? I would love that !!
I have diagnosed myself with motivation necrosis, possibly secondary to DQS. SM
I hope it's not terminal. Not old enough to retire yet. Anyone else with this sickness?
1500, lucky if I make that, lost my motivation, how do you guys do it ?
Never get the same dictators, all the OPs are not the usual appendectomies, T&As, etc, way more extensive, neurosurgery, spinal, etc. Have 2 accounts, over 150 pages of account specifics, 2 systems in and out, type about 1-2 report from backup account, just enough to waste more time closing out of ChartScript and loging into C quence, then back to CS. Typed about 1 H&P this year. I have no normals. Rarely ever get ESL dicators though. Giving myself about another month or two. Lost all motivation. How do you guys do it ? I really need a pep talk. I just can't concentrate any more.
Generally 200 lph, but depends on work type, I can do more with OP notes, has to do with motivation
I hate HP, consults, and DS, but that is the majority of what I do. I always, always do better with OP notes.
My motivation is that the sooner I get my work done, the sooner
I can go play. I hate being tied to this desk all day long. I'd rather be outside or reading a book or playing with the kids.
