Finding Discipline

I don’t mean that in any mature way. I mean this couch is dangerous. From the time I get home until bed time I have maybe 5 hours. That’s time to get things done. Gym, write, clean. All those fun things. But I come home so tired I tell myself I’ll only sit down for a minute or two, and then the night is over. The tv is just on. Podcasts are going in one ear and out the other. I can find energy for work or my son, but it’s easy to short change myself. It’s not about needing sleep or caffeine. It’s a mental state that took hold at some point and now is tough to break. Go home and tune out for the rest of the day. Get comfortable, push it all off until tomorrow, you deserve a break. I just want to feel awake and motivated after work. Instead I’m ready to pass out from the moment I get home, and frequently I do. Writing is helping my brain to focus but does anyone have thoughts to focus my body?
