Motivation or willpower is not an infinite resource. It's much like a muscle that can get tired. How do you recharge yourself in those situations?

Just get feedback from the people you are doing your work for. Take their smile, take the shared passion, and listen. Take it as compliment that they share, work, critic your ideas.
That is where I get my motivation from, every day. And believe me, I already got a lot of days behind me :-) but more to come.
It is not the understanding that shapes us; it is experience. Go for it!
I face this issue a lot. I still have no solution that works for me. I guess maintaining momentum helps here.

@harshilsharma63 I face this issue by acknowledging it's one of the experiences I will have as a human being. Sometimes listening to motivational audio, podcasts help. If nothing works, I just take a break :D

What I do to motivate myself every day?
every day when I wake up, I will devote around 30 minutes to think about my goals. I will start thinking about who will be I and where I will be if I achieved my goals. I will compare myself to some real-world personalities which I can be if I achieved my goals.
This fuels me every day. It really worked for me but I dont know if it will work for you.
Excuse for my bad english.

Keep things on paper. Write down short-term goals for yourself, think about it everyday, slowly progress in the direction you want to everyday more and more. Don't worry about achieving something quickly and rushed, but do worry about progress everyday even if it comes slow. Having short term goals can be better in the sense of coming together and creating a bigger, long term goal in the end. Work on yourself everyday until you get where you want to be.

@jason_purplerosesupply I write my goals on paper, literally. It feels more tangible. You are right in saying that having a manageable chunk of goal helps with the consistency.

@jason_purplerosesupply yeah that actually was of much help for me. Taking a pen and writing goals down on paper triggers something in the brain, and it's super satisfying to cross things you've completed out:)
Write down my goals on paper and focus on them.📃🎯
Before you sleep, visualize yourself achieving my goals.😴🌌
Start your day by doing the thing that is most important to me.👩🏻💻
Listen to motivational stories on Ted talks and other popular shows.🧑🏻💼🎼
As for me, the key was to understand that being not on top of your productivity is okay. Let yourself be lazy is an important part of being productive. I just allow myself a day of easy ongoing zen work and it usually energizes me enough to start complicated tasks the next day. Of course, loving what you do is massively important, but that's a given.

@katyaveremeichik I agree on it totally! understanding that feeling a lack of motivation is temporary is a key part of dealing with it.

If you are asking for motivation for just one thing continuous, I feel I dont have it. I usually take a break and again feel like coming back to that one thing I was working on.
So say I am writing an article, I will finish the first draft and then park it for a day or so and then comeback with new fresh perspective to work on. Same goes for my design, and product work. So I will say I am motivated but when I take break from it :-)

@samikshaa It's definitely true for me while writing articles.
