Here's how I handle lack of motivation mechanically: - I spend time asking why, and allow myself to answer that question before rushing into an action - I allow myself to answer "I'm tired, I want to do nothing" These two help me work on goals and rhythm. Goals are where you intentionally want to go, the why. But if you don't have useful habits, you won't get there. That's rhythm. Ignore goals, and you might work a lot, but have no control in where you're going. That might lead to feelings of helplessness. Ignore rhythm, and you might not learn to do the work. Instead of actually working towards where you want to go, you might juggle goals, and dream about the future.
