Taking break and mostly write it down whatever is running in my brain and then try to see realistically what can be done in short format and in less time

Determination > Motivation

I used to this person that looks all the time super motivated and energetic. But since the war in Ukraine started, I often feel tired and procrastinating a lot of tasks. Anxiety and bad news are something that is always on the background. If I didn't have sport, in my case CrossFit and acrobatics, I can't believe I could handle it. It recharges me and helps brains to take a break for one hour. After the training, most of the tasks looks doable. Probably it's basic biology and hormones, but it really helps with my lack of motivation.

The main thing is not to blame yourself for it. So, for example, I like to go for a walk or do sports. But when I do this, I don't think, "I need to work now", but I allow myself to rest. Is it possible to reduce motivation because you have not been successful in your work for a long time? I always try to catch small victories and praise myself for them.

Hi Martin, When facing a creative block or a lack of motivation, I find it helpful to take a step back and change my environment. This could be as simple as taking a walk, reading a book, or doing something that relaxes you. Often, our best ideas come when we're not actively trying to think of them.

Hey Martin! Learn a new random skill that is not related to your job (basically out of your comfort zone). It helps for me 😇

There's no such thing called best thing to tackle creative block as it varies from person to person. Some things that can work: 1) Go for a walk. 2) Hear good music you like. 3) Read something that's outside of your niche or vice versa. 4) Watch something creative. Could even be films. Hope this helps! ☺

Put it down for a few hours or days. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is something else. Let your brain figure it out in the background.

Go for a walk, sit in silence. Sometimes taking a bath helps me 😅

Hi, Martin! I'd say taking a break works for me. When things get overwhelming, grinding through them and trying to push through only creates more frustration, so sometimes it's best for me to just stop for an hour and do something else. When we're producing a video, we have a lot of different tasks we need to take care of, so there's always something for me to redirect my focus to.

I like to go for a walk when it's a small block, but when it's something bigger definitely it's worth changing the environment

Check my account balance! If there are sufficient funds, I would tell myself why not do something risky but fun thing with the project? If not, it'll be my best motivation. 😂

Take a break, listen to some great music and do some sports 🤩

Take a break, and do something totally unrelated to your field, that helps.

I take out an old fashioned notebook and start jotting down ideas. Sort of a stream of uncouncessness. I do this for as long as necessary until something sticks. Once that happens you can go back and review everything you have written down. Your whole idea might be there waiting for you.

Get on product hunt! 😄 you'll leave motivated and creatively awakened.

I find either building something with your hands or going for a walk in nature completely eliminates these problems

I usually have two approaches. Either go through it with all my strength because it is very needed and I can't fail there. Or relax, admit that it is ok, and think/do comething else for a bit. In the end, especially if you are a builder or founder, you are your company, which means burnout means bankrupcy. So it is better to take a week off than to burn out in a week.

Do something else. Forcing yourself is not very effective in my opinion. Instead, I'd do something else where you can make progress right away and come back to it later.

Go out, meet people, play a game or binge watch a show 😁
