Hey all, I am wondering how people in this area are and how are you all coping with motivation. I am constantly on ups and downs for my motivation and I am either doing rapid sprints of days with non-stop tinkering on projects, or I am either supper demotivated and can barely do anything.
What's your take on that? How do you manage to cope with demotivation? Can you return to your full potential manually, or are you waiting for the spark to light up again on its own?

Ah, the joy of finding a new song that you like. Superb! 🎵🎵
To be fair, I try not to rely on motivation, just disipline.
This is a tough one. A 20-minute walk works for me every time.
I am usually doing it in the morning. Eventually breaking up the routine and starting to get up 3 minutes before the daily...
