I used to be so driven with side projects… apps, game dev, 2d art, 3d modeling etc…

But currently, i’ve taken on a happier perspective… I’ve noticed I lost the negative/sad/angry thoughts and is now content and satisfied with things. I’ve been sleeping at 10 waking at 6. Balanced diet. People happy. Everything seems good.

Now when I try to get back on my projects I kinda don’t have the drive anymore. Its hard to explain but it just kinda fizzles out whenever I try. I used to have a heavy heart and hateful of stuff, almost as if the negative fuel was allowing me to commit to my idea and reject everything else.

Now I feel like a happy blob but I kinda want my drive again… Anyone else?

    good thought! Could be…

    Context I was unemployed for 3 months and took that time to learn game dev. ThenI spent the last month job hunting and paused my game dev. My first day starts tomorrow. I guess I maybe just waiting to stabilize again.

      Ah this is good context, you don’t have the 9 to 5 motivating you to side project lol I hope you’ll be happy at your new job but if not, you’ll find yourself frustrated again and you’ll be back to side projects.
