Have been known to be good worker in years past, no trouble on work days for get out bed to work. But low motivation an low energy at times an have make myself do things or get out bed when no work go on. I lay on couch when nothing to do an hard get up, is this what like when get older for some guys ? Or maybe was from be off work at one job last winter for couple months an put on 10 lbs, I don't like 0 motivation at times an even complain doctor about it when there for other appt,if this is what get older is like it is no fun at all

I have never "had nothing to do". There is always something to do.

As you get older you will lose energy plus sitting around not doing anything is not good either. There are many things you can do to help.exercise by walking a mile or 2 a day lift weights join a health club.put a garden in and enjoy the fruits of your labor.go fishing,pick up aluminum cans on shoulders of the road to help clean up your community.just to name a few.

If one is not motivated by something to keep going, sooner or later one will waste away and pass on from doing nothing !

There is so much in the world to motivate people from going soft it's terribly sad that many cannot see them

Aging without motivation to do things is death knocking on your door !!

Get a girlfriend.

Sounds like you need some wild wimmins to chase, Dave!

Spray some Fluid Film on the frame & undercarriage
of your Colorado to keep the rust down.

Pull your trapping hip boots out of the freezer
and check them for fold creases & dry rot.

Maybe get a belt sander and sand the
mold accumulation off your coon boards.

Stop being a Richard.

My dad told me since I was a kid, if you don’t move you die. Keep moving even when you don’t feel like it. The only thing I’ve noticed as I get a little older is time seems to fly by!!

increase your fitness level particularly your strength and aerobic capacity.

Dave, With your bad knee, I know you are going to be limited in your mobility. So whatever you can do to stay active, take it easy at first. 

If nothing else, walk down to the end of your driveway a few times a day. Sit outside in the sun and work on a few traps or trapping gear. Maybe even take a short drive and look for some trapping ground for next season. 

Sometimes it's tough to make yourself get up and get moving, but just by bringing the subject up, that tells me you aren't lazy. 

You can do it; I have confidence in you!

The stress from that will kill him even faster. Lol

The thing about dieing, you won't even know you're dead.

Do you have a mom and pop cafe or a truck stop nearby that has a morning coffee crew? I know you're not a big people person but maybe just go sit at the counter and listen and throw in your two cents worth and eventually you'll fit in. Gives you a reason to get moving in the morning. I retired from farming after last year and understand your lack of motivation some days.

Don't sound good but like u say, move or rot out or die or start stages of go away, if I can get away with it, I sit down after so many minutes of activity
