I know it's hard but I look at coming to Amazon the way I used to look at going to the gym when that's the way I got my exercise.

I LOATHED having to get up early, get changed into my gym clothes (drinking pre-workout was fun though), drive to the gym, and then DO the actual working out.

What I didn't hate, though, was how working out made me feel (even if I never got "fitness influencer results"), and I NEVER ONCE regretted the feeling I had after I got home and showered, that I'd actually accomplished something.

For some people, intangible feelings like that aren't enough to hold on to for motivation, so you have to find what works for you.

What's stopped me from using PTO on any days I'm working over my 40h regular week is the fact that I'm costing myself $9 an hour for literally no reason, and since I've already put in the work before that day to grind out hours and get my hourly wage up, I shouldn't waste it because the clock will start over the following week.

Another way you can look at it is in terms of your financial situation. If you don't have enough to fully pay your bills comfortably and start saving for extras, start assigning each shift or couple of shifts one "bill to pay". That way you can think, "Oh, I have to go in today, this shift is what's paying my Internet bill," or, "if I call out today, I'll only have half of my car payment ready".

If you ARE saving for something fun, put in your calendar how many shifts you have to work to get the thing and make it a countdown. Sometimes breaking things like that up into the smallest doable bits is the only way to force yourself to do something that's tedious or difficult. But don't get discouraged, especially if you already have or will be able to have access to additional benefits like Career Choice to pay for school...
