How do you keep yourself motivated?

[CPANathan]

Every day around 6pm I slowly start to lose interest in work, initially getting things done but quality drops over-all on everything and I start making stupid mistakes...

Could be the cutting down on the ganja or my brain just acting up I've tried everything.

I usually stop doing any serious work around 5-6pm.
If you have been concentrated and really worked till that time you have done plenty of work already

Fair point... I honestly haven't thought of setting a schedule for work, thanks for that bossman

Stop working at 6pm. Enjoy your evening. Problem solved.

I do one simple thing: I think about my family and how they're counting on me.

If I think about myself and my passion, it's easy to 'bargain' and compromise

But if I focus on how others are depending on me, it's like taking 10000 grams of adrenaline

Know exactly what you want in life, you will never have to deal with demotivation

Treat your online work the same way you will treat a 9-5 job.. You cannot work 24/7.. That is what automation software is for.

Find a balance

• Take breaks
• Take vacations
• Find a hobby that you enjoy to do during your downtime
• Fap lots
• Nap lots

You seem quite burned out, take a downtime now and reignite yourself once your back

have you thought about stopping at 6. rest, eat dinner and pick up again around 8 or 9? only saying this if you are behind schedule and need to reach a milestone. working 70-80 hours a week will not help you in long term. we all have done it, but it is infrequent and usually when it is to reach a milestone.

 

[Rodolfodalbello]

It depends on how or where you want to reach. And try to change your routine every week, doing new stuffs. It helped me out

The money.
I must make sure I always have enough money to buy anything that I want.

When I got phone calls asking me when will I pay the bills lol

A nice weight lifting session can help

Every one of these tips is actually more than decent, I never tried setting myself up with a time schedule cause all my work I've always enjoyed, seems that's not a good reason to burn my brain out. I rarely sleep well, trying to get projects done and usually working on something that has me cranky as all hell.. Thanks homeslices

If you start to make mistakes at 6 pm - this is the time you should start to switch off from work and come back early the next day. Motivation and effort are only good if the output is solid.
