I've yet to solve the problem once and for all, but so far, in no particular order: - Take a vitamin B pill (B12 mainly) and/or a 5-HTP supplement. - Keep lots of interesting books lying around, without making a goal out of reading them. - Watch inspiring personal struggle/triumph documentaries to regain optimism (the one about Bo Jackson might still be on netflix). - Practice identifying, avoiding, and moving past Gumption Traps. - Become an armchair 'expert' in something (at the time) useless and non-achievement-related, like overhead valve engines, pre-Renaissance cathedral construction, friction stir welding (do _not_ get caught up configuring your text editor) There's a method to the madness in mixing these. Everything in moderation, ymmv, etc.
