What long-term goals do you have for yourself, really? Do you have any? And if you say you do, do they actually motivate you? Building an app or starting your own business sound like typical HN crowd goals, but do they actually apply to you? It seems to me that you right now struggle with seeing the effects of your work, and how they relate to whatever long-term goal you may have. Because there seems to be a disconnect there, you do not feel motivated. But this will not change until you: (a) have a clear long-term goal that you actually care about, and (b) figure out how to work on tasks that help achieve the goal. Why are you doing whatever it is you are doing?
