If I am unmotivated, I try to identify the deep root cause of it. After that I gradually try to think about the longer term benefits of the work I am doing. If the unmotivated feeling doesn't go away so easily, I would think maybe it is not the right thing to do at the moment.

Answer

I try to remind myself of my long-term goals and the importance of the task at hand. I also like to take short breaks and do something that I enjoy to recharge my energy and refocus my mind.

Answer

When I'm feeling unmotivated, I find it helpful to break down my tasks into smaller, more manageable steps and create a plan for completing them. By focusing on the progress I'm making, rather than the end result, I can build momentum and regain my motivation.

@canberk_ars I love this, knowing when to step away and picking it up when you feel it again.

@kingabelk it gets difficult sometimes to maintain site of the long-term goals. Do you journal or use other tools to remind yourself?
