Someone please give me a jolt of motivation...

Recently I couldn’t find the motivation to do anything constructive or challenging. There’s a couple of programming language or applications which I want to learn (Notably Flash and PHP), a couple or two personal projects to work on and the like.

Problem is I enjoy staring at the computer screen more than anything else. Lately I either spend time surfing web-sites though my fingers are numb from the typing, or wrestle at the controls of my PS2 till it’s bed time (or horror, till the next day!).

I need to get some juice into my life again. I am just no in the mood for learning, trying and experimenting…

(Maybe it has something to do with me entering the military in 2 weeks time for complusory military service…)

How did you cope with such dry spells? Any advice?

i know how you feel…
I had a bad fight with a very good friend almost a year ago. We barely speak at all.

Anywas, the result is that i lost all motivation and all taste for anything i had passion for. I defenitely rather stare at the computer/games/watch movies/do nothing with my free time.

All i do is really force myself to get going and do something. I found that once you start doing something, it get a little easier to keep doing it. That’s how i’m messing with a Flash program i newly got.

Go for it. Most don’t realize how much the time they waste, they cannot get back. life is too damn short really.
Sorry, don’t sound much like an advice.

Hang in there
