tips for fighting the CBF's?

[ari666]

got a serious case of them ATM. normally i bribe myself with beer, but today it isnt working. ventured outside to see if i should start anything, then walked straight back in.

so my question is:

can someone give me a tip for fighting the initial CBFitis? maybe there is some meditation Blah i can do, or something i dunno.. anything. lol.

help me.

[VN_Luke]

If I CBF doing anything I go into the shed, turn on the TV, grab a beer... and clean..... and generally that leads to something

[dirt drifter]

dont fight it, embrace it! kick back with a beer and relax, wont be long and you'll get bored and go looking for something to do

[Adds_05]

i know exactly what you mean,im at that point also...

[ClairBear]

I would answer this but I CBF'd

[DevilDRake]

You could.. get someone to help you drink your beers with you and fix your car with you

[VjamesY]

Maybe put some music on? I cant clean/work on my car without it in the back round.

Just envision how good it will look when its finished, that would motivate me!

BTW Your Impala will look so much better black

Hit yourself over the head with a golf club... And don't stop until you're out of the house and in the shed.

[ari666]

well i tried the cleaning thing, which helped get the garage clean but didnt help the CBF's. i have now made a 'to-do' list. i am hoping that will help. failing all that will try the golf club method next.

I work 5 days a week and when i come home just seems like there more work and i just cbf todo anything, i bought a pushie to get fit but just cbf!

Best way to deal with the CFBs is leave it till the last minute. Nothing like the last minute to motivate you.

start smoking cones!

motivation here you come!...

lol - ensure you keep snacks handy and have a comfortable recliner.

[Zeussy]

LOL, cones are the biggest DE-motivator out there

What seems to work on me, (occaisonally) being shamed into it by fellow J/C'ians and my girlfriend, all harrassing me!

Really though, I have nfi. Some days its hard to get started, others I can't wait! Usually once some good progress is made it keeps spirits up for a bit.

And definately DON'T leave all the shit jobs til the end, other wise you'll do all the fun/good stuff, and be left with a weeks/months worth of shit jobs... :/

[delcowizzid]

yeah the best motivation will be knowing we will all give you shit if you dont stick it out

[impulsed_sv6]

my advice look in the diys on the net, tv, magazinez, anything of people doing things and showing how to do it u will automaicly think of that soo kool n want to do it

[acarmody]

When I get the CBFs I will just sit on my computer until CBF CBF kicks in and I usually start doing some cleaning or something.

methamphetamine

[S.T.K.E]

Grab your Penis, Flip on The Bold and The Beautiful or something similar..... Give it a Pull...... See how you feel afterwards

[VN_Luke]

methamphetamine

you'll have one sparkly CLEAN shed

[ari666]

And definately DON'T leave all the shit jobs til the end,

too late

start paying someone to do the work for you, youll then realise how epensive it is and be motivated to do it yourself

OI slut, we have stuff to organize, might try and come see you on Sunday, Ill see how I go.

This might seem like the sort of advice you don't want, but take a break from working on the car. LIke many others, I've followed this thread from the beginning and you've been at it flat out for months. Most of us are amazed at the amount of work you have completed in a comparitively short time. I doubt that I would have bothered taking on such a rustbucket in the first place but you did and the CBF's are quite understandable.

I took over four years to restore my HT GTS350 back in the late 80's. Sometimes, it sat for months with almost nothing done to it, but I always came back and eventually finished it off. I think that the final job was probably better as a result, because I gave myself time to do other things and avoid the CBF's.

Take a break, smell the flowers.....(or something like that). It will still be there waiting for you when you return to it.

You need Bourbon son, and lots of it. Nothing like over ambitious drunken over estimation of one's abilities
whatever you reckon you can do when blotto, go that extra step - I'm sure you can manage it
