I usually have two approaches. Either go through it with all my strength because it is very needed and I can't fail there. Or relax, admit that it is ok, and think/do comething else for a bit. In the end, especially if you are a builder or founder, you are your company, which means burnout means bankrupcy. So it is better to take a week off than to burn out in a week.

Take a break, and do something totally unrelated to your field, that helps.

Take a good nap...

I used to this person that looks all the time super motivated and energetic. But since the war in Ukraine started, I often feel tired and procrastinating a lot of tasks. Anxiety and bad news are something that is always on the background. If I didn't have sport, in my case CrossFit and acrobatics, I can't believe I could handle it. It recharges me and helps brains to take a break for one hour. After the training, most of the tasks looks doable. Probably it's basic biology and hormones, but it really helps with my lack of motivation.

Take a walk in nature (in silence).

Specifically, regarding creative block, I now use AI to help (I say that someone who is building an AI-powered startup) In terms of motivation, I’ve struggled with this a lot especially because I’m working mostly on my own. I think being a part of a community helps. When you see other people working, you do because you don’t want to be left behind.

Take a break, listen to some great music and do some sports 🤩

I like to go for a walk when it's a small block, but when it's something bigger definitely it's worth changing the environment

Go out, meet people, play a game or binge watch a show 😁
