Off the top of my head: - play a lot more without any expectation, don't be afraid to leave a trail of mistakes and unfinished projects - make sure you are healthy, eating and exercise, lots of sleep - make sure you allocate time to playing and not be distracted by other things - watch a bunch of youtube videos on computing, programming - play play play - don't try to force getting that excitement back, so play a little each day and if bored, do something else - if you are worried about wasting your time playing, look back and see what you have accomplished over the last week. Know that another week will pass and you can decide to fill that week with tinkering or not. - be in a relaxed state when you want to learn something
