I’m having one of those weeks where I have no motivation.

I’m not really sure what happened. I spent Saturday morning chopping up a big tree limb at the cabin with my little chainsaw. The kids hauled branches away. I showered and we packed up the cabin and started driving home and somewhere along I-35 my motivation and energy left my body and so far neither have returned.

Did I still make seven layer salad for Easter celebrations on Sunday? Yes. Did I still do laundry on Monday and meal planning and grocery shopping on Tuesday? Yes. There are some basic needs in this house that can’t go unfulfilled.

But the usual daily tidying that I do? Not happening. The kids’ Easter candy is still on the dining room table–we eat dinner amid the pastel chocolate chaos. I haven’t done a single thing this week to move forward with our upcoming house purchase or upcoming house sale or upcoming trip to Japan.

You know what I’ve been doing instead of cleaning or organizing or returning clothes that need to be returned?

Three words: mindless media consumption.

Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit it, but one of my favorite genres of videos on YouTube are the drain unclogging videos, and nobody does it better than post 10.

Here’s a great example of post 10’s content to get you started. He has much more polished videos with two camera views, but I’m a fan of his earlier, shakier work. I am certain that he is autistic and really respect his dedication to water drainage.

Along the same lines, I love thep00lguy and have been watching him for years. Here’s a classic pool cleaning video from him. I find his accent and work ethic very soothing.

I’ve also been digging Logan’s Candies videos recently. I’ve watched enough of them to know by now that they all end the same way and yet each time I am surprised and delighted when the yellow blob is transformed into colorful candy.

I recommend that the next time you find yourself in a motivation rut you should just dig in. Load up Ye Olde YouTube. Maybe water drainage isn’t your thing, but power washing is. Find what you love, settle in, and enjoy the slow decay of your brain and body.

It is the Casey way!
