The only thing that beats motivation every time is discipline. With self-discipline, I have the ability to do things even when I donβt feel motivated to do them. If we wait for motivation, it may never come.
I find it matters a lot how you start your day..
I will try to review things in the shower in the morning and when I get to the office to immediately jump in.
I make sure my computer is already showing the code when I get there in the morning so there is no time wasted booting or clicking around in apps.
If I don't know or feel unmotivated coding then I just read the code, and I find that very soon I'm correcting this or that, and then I end up deep coding.
Be sure to not get any distractions during that time.
A Freshmenβs year old who is a nerd about coding, tech, computers, and software etc. Love to code, program and help out people and collaborate. Just a dev hanging out while playing a game of life.
Listen to music bro. Really helps me to relax and focus on upcoming tasks or drink something I like or go outside. Either way do what you love and never worry. Try to have a positive mindset all the time. :)
I am a professional DevOps Engineer with a demonstrated history of working in the internet industry. I am an avid Linux lover and supporter of the open-source movement philosophy.
Learning, implementing and improvising my programming knowledge everyday.
Flutter is my current love.
Java will be forever love.
C++ is the guru who got me started.
Have a passion driven point whenever you do anything in your life is the key for me to stay motivated in doing anything in general not just work !
You must first have that point clear in you head before starting with anything. Now, the problem happens when we have started and have passed some time doing that same thing let's say some years. This is the phase where we are loosing the motivation to continue with that certain activity in our life, this is the very time when you need to pick up that page where you wrote that point before starting and remind yourself that why did you even started ?!
According to me "purpose-less endeavors" in life are the main reason why we loose motivation over time and so if luckily you just forgot the purpose then you can remind yourself about it to get that enthusiasm back in your life while doing anything in life !
But, obviously in exceptional cases if that purpose with which you started doing something doesn't seems that important anymore then for sure this is the time to make a switch before you end up making yourself feel burnt out !

For coding, I try to find someone to collaborate with. Learning together provides the accountability I need to keep me going.

My brother wrote a post for that recently:
5 Tips On How To Stay Motivated And Productive As A Developer
TL;DR
Look back at the things you have accomplished π
I understand how you feel, and I certainly felt like that in the past, and I still feel like that way sometimes.
This week has been a tough one for me.
How you can overcome is by having hobbies outside of your job.
These hobbies don't have to be code-related.
Do what you like.
Exercise, cook, go for walks, play an instrument, play a sport, dance, sing, travel. ANYTHING.
Software engineering is a high status role, and we often forget that we are way more than our jobs.
