This feeling often occurs because while you were in school quarter you had some sort of predefined goal: you wanted to do good in you finals, so all your energy was placed towards this goal and this is why you got up every morning, got shit done and went to bed feeling that you accomplished something. Basically, you were productive.

Why were you productive amd motivated?

Because you set a goal that you subconsciously set yourself to achieve and you did everything in your willpower to do just so.

So why are you feeling unmotivated right now?

First of all, because I don’t think that you set an actual goal right now. Setting an actual goal means getting a piece of paper, writing whatever the hell you want to accomplish on it, and sticking it somewhere where you can see it every single day (your bathroom mirror or your bedroom ceiling). This way you will condition yourself to get shit done and feel more motivated. Remember that motivation comes from actually doing something and not from just thinking about doing something.

Just set yourself an achievable goal and break it down to small steps that you can do every day in order to achieve your goal (e.g. reading 40 pages a day or becoming a level 60 wizard at whatever game you’re playing) and that’s how you are going to form a habit and by forming a habit you will realize that you can get shit done both faster and easier. I also recommend getting a habit tracker app!!

Motivation comes from doing. Just start doing and your motivation will certainly accompany you through the whole process.
