Day 566: unmotivated

productivity

hello motivation

where have you gone

i sit and try to start working, hoping that you’ll pay me a visit

but you don’t show up and 5 minutes later i’m rolling around like a slug

miss u

things i notice about these slumps:

  1. always happens when i’m working on something that’s boring product-wise but helpful business-wise (in this case, limiting usage based on the user’s plan)
  2. combined with poor sleep, nutrition, and exercise. not sure which way the causality flows — probably in both directions where i get stuck in a spiral
  3. not sure whether to grind through it or just take a break and wait for the excitement to come back
