What do you believe is the best thing to do when facing a creative block or a lack of motivation ?

Hi Martin! As founders, one thing I believe we can do to inspire motivation or new ideas is chatting with potential customers or users. Sometimes we just need to "get outside" of our own heads for a bit, and speaking with other humans, particularly those which might be our target users, is a great way to benefit ourselves and our company!

Hi, Martin! I'd say taking a break works for me. When things get overwhelming, grinding through them and trying to push through only creates more frustration, so sometimes it's best for me to just stop for an hour and do something else. When we're producing a video, we have a lot of different tasks we need to take care of, so there's always something for me to redirect my focus to.

Check my account balance! If there are sufficient funds, I would tell myself why not do something risky but fun thing with the project? If not, it'll be my best motivation. 😂

Go for a walk, sit in silence. Sometimes taking a bath helps me 😅

Do something else. Forcing yourself is not very effective in my opinion. Instead, I'd do something else where you can make progress right away and come back to it later.

When creativity eludes you, just take a break and indulge in a pint of ice cream or binge-watch your favorite show😉🍦📺

The main thing is not to blame yourself for it. So, for example, I like to go for a walk or do sports. But when I do this, I don't think, "I need to work now", but I allow myself to rest. Is it possible to reduce motivation because you have not been successful in your work for a long time? I always try to catch small victories and praise myself for them.

I would suggest going on a walk or just spending time alone with your thoughts :)

Determination > Motivation

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.
