Yeah, you sometimes have to give others (or yourself) an incentive, a goal to do something (I see that every time I have to do some cleaning in my apartment XD), even if it's just a piece of chocolate or something like that.
Exactly. I mean, I know from stories my mother told me that her mother was one of the "Trümmerfrauen", who helped in the big cities to remove all the rubble that was left of the buildings when they were bombed by the Allied Forces. Working hard for hours on end, the constant danger, trying to scrap some meager pieces of bread or maybe a small bit of meat for your child, and worrying if you will ever see your husband ever, or when he will return - I don't think that any man would pull through like the women of that time did. Another great source of encouragement, by the way.
