Do you have those days when you are unmotivated to do anything? How do you challenge yourself?

On those kind of days I try not to force myself doing anything. Most likely it comes as a result of temporary burnout, and I found that for me it's best to focus on my hobbies until I get bored and the thought that I want to work comes out because eventually, it will, no matter if I get bored or time puts pressure on me. So I don't stress too much about not being motivated, it's just temporary, we're humans, and it's just silly to try challenging yourself to be a robot in order to not feel guilty about procrastinating.

Of course! It usually happens when I'm feeling sick, or if I'm a bit burnt out. I try to push through it and get stuff done, but also be kind to myself that maybe it's not going to be my most productive day. I also have an amazing team who I can lean on, and that helps a lot <3

Music is crucial, I also like to chat or meditate to focus my pains and understand why I'm like that. Once I do this I try to create a realistic to-do list. Or if it hits me hard then I take a time for e and rest or do some sport and back to work when I feel better (pros of flexible schedule!)

I do whatever I want at that time. Things like calling old friends, teachers, or people I care about. This helps to learn people's mind and certainly works well to get some motivation.

We need those days too. We are just humans after all. ;) Sometimes we forget the importance of rest and the increased motivation and energy that comes from it. There is no point in squeezing a lemon that has already been squeezed out, is there? :)

I sometimes go with the flow and do nothing! 😁 Giving my mind n body what it likes.

On those days i try to remember im only human and try to take it easy :)

Yes for sure! (Feeling it a bit today). I set a timer for ten minutes and tell myself when it goes off, I can decide if I want to still with the task or not. Starting is the hardest part so usually after ten minutes I'm motivated to keep going.

I prefer to take a short walk to refresh myself, and I work on smaller tasks by dividing the whole task into parts to regain my motivation.

A depleting bank account is a powerful motivator!

I think we all have those kind of days! I find discipline will always triumph motivation. You cannot be motivated 100% of the time. I think it's important to do at least one kind thing for yourself on days like this. Whether that's lighting a candle and taking a bubble bath or watching your favorite show or going for a walk.

I actually think that being "unmotivated to do anything" means that you actually do not want to do something that is visible task wise. For instance, I can be unmotivated to do some routine work, but motivated enough to go for a walk and generate some ideas on the go. Treat yourself with what you like to have inner energy to do what you don't like/don't feel like at some given moment of time. Anyone relate?

I think it's more important to set goals for a daily amount of consistent action where even at your lowest in terms of motivation, you can still push though. So the biggest is just setting realistic goals for yourself.

First, relax yourself and don't make yourself too tight

Sometimes we rely too much on motivation to get things done, but what really helps us achieve our goals is discipline. Establishing a consistent routine can be a great way to build that discipline and make it easier to stay on track without needing constant motivation.

yes, sometimes you might face diffcult times, and question yourself about the meaning of keep doing one things. However, most of the successful products and their founders experience similar moments. The vital thing is to keep your eyes on the right track and keep doing it.

Those days are very few for me. Because I always have many goals to achieve. The biggest reason for loss of motivation is goallessness.

I certainly do, and that's where an amazing team (in my case, amazing co founder) comes in. Lean on people that you trust, and trust you'll help eachother in those moments! :)

It's good to surround yourself with positive people, because just being in a positive environment with motivated people can be contagious. I also like to get a "healthy" routine that helps me snap out of it. A good workout, or some really loud music that makes me want to dance seem to help adjust my mood.
