Getting burnt out and finding motivation? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm sure everyone has gone through getting burnt out doing web, design, or computer related work wether it's for a company or your own projects. What do you do to get your motivation back to continue with your work? I'm currently in a terrible slump and really need to get back in the swing of things.

Take a little break from it. Go a couple of days without touching a computer. It's a short term solution, but it works pretty well.

I would say take a break from it too....Then just get back into it, especially if you don't have any other choice.

let alone for awhile is the best advice.

been there, done that....still doing it.

For the most part...it's little pieces of paper called BILLS.

Otherwise, it's seeing a project done right,
despite the idiocy surrounding you.

I found that many times you have taken on much more
than you are admitting to yourself...you're human you know.
And you NEED to let your management know this too.

But I tend to stay away from working with computers when at home,
the TFP is the most I do, and that's more like communication than computers.

Exercise, music, reading, movies, games with friends, concerts
Dancing, pool, etc.
I try keep myself busy, away from tech.
