I haven't been motivated to do anything lately. It really sucks because I come up with all of these great ideas to work on but as soon as I get on my computer, I'll I can think about is checking FB, Reddit, and playing video games.
What do you guys do to stay motivated? I would love any tips.
On a side note, somebody FINALLY bought one of my Fiverr gigs which is pretty exciting.
well dude. Sounds like your kind of in an emotional slump haha. Here's what I do when I feel unmotivated.
1. Take a break: Just stop for a few days. Take some time to hang out with friends, go to a concert or something. Do something for a few days that doesnt involve work. After some time, you'll be energized again and be good to work.
2. If you cant take a few days off, take a walk: Walking helps relieve stress and keeps you from getting totally out of shape.
3. Go outside: Being cooped up sucks, go outside, put on a pair of sunglasses and just wander around. If you smoke, grab a Cigarette or whatever. Seriously, getting outside and feeling the sun is totally helpful.
4. Listen to music: Listen to something that makes you happy. Itll bring up your motivation through feeling good
5. Make money: I know this is pretty weird to say, but hear me out. When you make money doing what you love, you feel motivated to make more.
If all else fails (and it usually doesnt), I sit down and watch an episode or two of King of the Hill. Its my favorite show. I even put it on on another screen while I work. As I write this post, I have Futurama on. Just keeps me from going insane.
Best of luck dude
Btw, it also helps if you write down the things you need to do that day. Look at it, and start from the top. Dont stop until your done.
one more thing. Remember to take frequent breaks. Every 30 - 60 mins, I get up and walk around or smoke a cigarette for a few minutes. Just makes it so you dont go insane.
Thats it. good luck
