Do any you in the community have reommendations for finding - and maintaining - motivation and focus over the long term?
(I have some possible projects, small and long, including one that could take years of effort. Thinking about it is causing me to freeze: I do not want to risk diving in, becoming obsessive, and burning up with little to show, but not do I want it to become a grinding slow chore.)
Don't give up on long term plans
I've just run out of long term ideas, all of them have failed, and in result my motivation died out. It sucks big time, when nothing gives you joy

Sorry to hear Mariusz, those times are terrible. Hope it passes soon.
It was getting up late, eating, going to work, eating, sitting brain dead without single thought until going to bed for 3 weeks. Even constant 'how are you?'s did not annoy me.
So you're saying it's recurring condition. that sucks.
I'm back to wanting to get up
I know that feeling Mariusz. Somehow I keep getting up again
I'm feeling better again. But I had 3 weeks feeling completely empty, unable to make myself do anything
