i'm behind in math (homeschooling) and need to catch up. I want to do an average of a few lessons a day, which requires a lot of motivation. i'm not too motivated in the math department because i've had trouble in the past (bad cycle, i need to stop). once i've been taught a concept by a competent teacher, i'm very good which leads me to believe that i have a natural talent for math. for instance, i can do multi-digit multiplication in my head, along with simple algebra. i'm also much more logical (personality trait that hints at mathematical talent) in everyday encounters, as opposed to a "feeler" like most women.. but i still procrastinate math.. i put it off like the plague. i'm almost afraid of it. it's sad because once i start doing it, i can find myself enjoying the simplicity and rawness of it all.. and usefulness and practicality. but this isn't enough to get me going!! what do i do? please don't suggest something like a rewards system or w/e.. won't work with me.
