What's my Motivation?
I feel motivated at work, but I don’t feel so motivated to work on my personal projects. Why’s that? Am I satisfied with what I do at work? The kind of stuff I do there is different and less personal, though! It makes me a bit sad that I’m happy by just learning new things and accomplishing small portions of grander tasks instead of exploring and working hard on crazy interestesting concepts.
I’m also tired after 8 solid hours of thinking. Maybe I need more sleep? Maybe I need to excersise? My brain can only stay motivated for so long producing before it becomes a consumer and just wants to watch reruns of The Simpsons and be disgusted about Family Guy.
And at the end of most days I feel unsatisfied, like there’s one more thing I wanted to do. My mind wants more; my body just wants to rest. It’s the same problem I had last summer.
