It always comes down to why. You need a goal, a focus, something that makes your work more than just pushing keys and sliding around a mouse.
If you are moping around, that tells me that you don't know why you are doing what you are doing. Yes you want to make more money, much more, but to what end? The problem is "more money" is nebulous, unfocused. What is it you want? A new house for you, or your mother? The ability to take a two-week trip to Las Vegas?
I was in the paratroops, then business management, now teaching and IM. When people know why they are doing something, want it and believe in it then there is nothing they will not do to get it, and there is no boundaries to how much they succeed. Messi? Kobe? Great athletes for sure but they are also by far the most driven - putting in ungodly off-season workouts, in for practice an hour before others and then doing another hour after everybody else. They are driven by what they want to achieve and accomplish.
That is why so many great prospects get a taste of the good life then never reach their potential. They get comfortable with the life and no longer put in the extra time and effort to keep getting better.
You've got new plans to do - but they are not enough to motivate you, to excite you - they are not good goals. So what is it that would excite you?
Sorry to preach, but I am an old fart and a teacher by nature so when I get started I seldom stop.
Find a goal that excites you and you'll find the fire again.

Hey,Start working now so that you can come to settle here in Mauritius then you can relax and be lazy
You won't believe, but I am doing everything just to have a great living there, in Mauritius mate
I could travel there even today or tomorrow, but can't just because of parents and studies.
Thanks

Not many people know this, but watching a meaningful movie should help you get your motivation back.
I work my ass off all the time online and I am a full time money maker online. I have to admit though
that sometimes I get sluggish and my head is not clear and I find myself watching stupid YouTube videos.
I know the cure for it now though. You have to refresh yourself. Go for a jog or do something you enjoy
for a day or two and get off of the computer for a little while almost like a mini vacation. You will come back
refreshed with new ideas and more ambition.
I always thought life's challenges and bills was enough inspiration and it sure is. But from time to time
we need to take a small chill out time and relax. Catch a movie or do something with your girlfriend (leaving that method up to you lol)

You can try to start fresh. For example I was running several image hosting websites trying to make money, I shut them all down and i'm starting completely fresh with PPD. I created new blogger/youtube accounts and i'm triyng new niches and starting 100% fresh. It's pretty fun.

You need to find a new emotional reason to want to keep working. I went through months of laziness and stat checking along with vacationing when I first hit my goal and was "comfortable" with my income. All my emotional reasons (the discomfort of not having the finances) which was pushing me to work long hours was fading, along with my motivation to keep pushing myself.
What I would recommend for you is to not resist this laziness. Just go with it for a bit and allow yourself to find new emotional reasons to *want* to work and make more (bigger goals, new needs). This worked for me at least
Take a break man. Go do something you enjoy doing and the feeling of wanting to get to the next level will come back. We sometimes forget the whole point of making all this money is so we can do things that others only dream of. If you can already do this, go do it You may find yourself discovering new reasons to work that you never had before. Plus, the goal in life is to be happy (should be for most people), and money is usually just a vehicle to help us get there.
Have you considered some sort of charity or giving back? Giving is a human need. You feel a lot of fulfillment when you help others get to where you're at, or help them through the hurdles that you've already overcome.

Go outside, leave the technology and work for some 2-5hrs. Go to the nearest mountain, peak, lake, river. Parks work too. Take your mind away from your main things. Enjoy nature. You can go with a friend too! The only thing important in this is to think about something else.
Try to forget your work, your tasks. Do something else that will make you happy, so when you return, you push maximum towards your work, your tasks and your goals.
