[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I cared less about my job once I got pregnant and had kids. That actually turned out to be better for my mental health. When my career was the most important thing in my life, anything frustrating that happened at work would ruin my day, and work stuff always took priority over social stuff. I never felt like I was getting out of my career what I was putting into it.  Now my family is my priority, so the work drama rolls off me more easily. I refuse to work on weekends, because that is family time, so I’ve gotten more efficient during the work day and learned to say “no” to extra tasks and chatty coworkers. No, I’m not going to win any awards for employee of the year, but I’m satisfied with how things are going. And I’m also happy to be working, because as much as I love my family, I don’t think I’m cut out to be a SAHM. All that is to say, maybe the low motivation is a sign that your life has been out of balance and it’s time to recalibrate. Work is important, but maybe it shouldn’t be the most important thing.[/quote]
