To get over the 'can't get myself going', take on a small, easy project first. Don't start a hard project now. It works for me.

Changed my oil at 230k miles and switched over to the summer/all-season tires. Somehow one of them got punctured by a screw so i went to get it plugged. Now that the winter tires are off i imagine it'll snow sometime next week 😅

Better than my tire on the E39 yesterday... picked up some debris at the junkyard that got stuck behind a front rotor. It let loose on the highway, punctured the right rear tire. Total blowout. Fortunately my spare had a whopping 13 PSI in it and got me home!
