What do you believe is the best thing to do when facing a creative block or lack of motivation?

Question

Ryan Zhang · Accepted Answer

When facing a creative block or a lack of motivation, I find it incredibly helpful to step away and immerse myself in a completely different activity, like a walk in nature or a new hobby. This change of scenery often sparks new ideas and reignites my motivation by providing a fresh perspective.

Michael Shver · Answer

For a creative block, I'd say there are two directions: changing the environment or taking a break, or brainstorming without putting too much pressure on yourself, just allowing the thoughts to flow. It can also help to ask someone for help.

As for motivation, it depends on the reasons of the issue. For example, goals that are too big can be overwhelming, so it's better to set smaller, more achievable ones.
