I’ve hit it. The blocker. I’ve got all these ideas, but I’ve got no motivation to complete them; I start but never finish. It’s quite daunting.
How do you get over this hump and get back to building software with motivation?

Teach others what you know
Some thoughts:
This happens to everyone, and for myself, I know this happens when I don't expose myself to a steady stream of new and interesting ideas and experiences. These don't have to be related to coding, either.
If possible, I shut off at 4pm every day, and spend the rest of my evening with other things to refresh myself.
Read books. Invest in relationships, learning about the other people in your life. Take up new hobbies like sports, wood working, drawing -- something that gets you away from the screen, preferably.
Tbh, I've recently been down a bit too. I don't know if it's the time of year or what. Personally, I think I just need a break since I've been doing it a bit obsessively recently (for fun and for school). But I also try to remember that I'm not in a race either and that it is in fact just a hump that we can get over.
I'd suggest taking a break. Maybe, if you don't want to completely set programming a side, do some reading to get new views on your craft.
