What do you guys do, to rekindle motivation? This year has been very stressful
Don't i know it. What i don't know is the proper thing to say here, but...
I do find it helpful to collaborate on projects. Not as much because it's a joint effort but because it feels more "real" than when doing something alone, and because i'm held accountable, which feels good in my case. The realness might be important or nonimportant to you, but it's a theory (i think it was Hegel perhaps?) that people need to "mirror" themselves in their productive/creative output in order to not feel alienated. Having someone you for certain know is interested in the project means you can help each other mirror back and forth. My individual projects may sag behind, but that's ok to me as long as i do
something with that sense of realness and recreation. I don't think everyone needs a partner like this, but i think that mirroring (even for oneself) and self-creation is pretty important. Does that resonate with you in some way?
Though if the underlying problem is too much background stress and it won't go away on its own sometime soon, i think the solution might be a structural one. No easy way around that. Not that it's an either or case, thankfully.
If tingering with wizards of wor gives you relief or has given you relief at some point from that stress, then that's good.
What made you think about porting it in the first place?
