-- intro
i want to work on my website, but when ever i got on my laptop to start working on it i would always lose motivation or just distract myself. going on youtube, just zoning out and looking around, putting music.
-- remove distractions (socials, embrace boredom)
so how do i fix this: avoid anything distracting. no socials, no music or videos, no porn. if you feel very horny and feel like it only limits you, then go and get over with it and get to work. but here is what i did for it to work: i stopped going on youtube, i deleted my social medias because i dont have friends either way, what do i need social medias for. so i got bored and i got some ideas in my head and wanted to make them real. and working on the site took my mind away from the boredom.
-- try to impress teammates
if you have people that are interested in it and work on it too this will help: you have to try to surprise them and to show off what you did because it is human psychology to try to share your achievements. and doing it in something you guys all are interested in will help you greatly. it gives you the motivation and enjoyment of what you created, knowing it was worth creating because this tool you made is put into good use. and from then you only feel motivated to do more, and more. update more, surprise more, reach higher goals, increase your community. (IMPORTANT) it is better to not tell them before you actually make the thing you wanted to do, because then if they get involved, your structure and logic is all changed and messed up because theirs was introduce. and also if you suddenly lose motivation it will feel bad since you didnt keep your word of doing that thing.
this is just what worked for me, if it doesnt work for you, good luck finding something that does.
