To be honest, I think in the past a lot of my motivation came from unhealthy places - imposter syndrome / feeling like I needed to do more to be 'good enough'.
It took a little touch of burn out to get past that, and now I think I've got a good system where every time I start to feel demotivated, I break down why I'm doing something. What am I getting out of it? Is it interesting to me? Am I enjoying it? Will it have a positive effect on others?
I keep track of side projects and ideas in Notion and add those notes directly to the task, so whenever I'm picking it up / reminding myself what I've got in my 'personal backlog', I'm also reminded of why the hell I would bother.
