Hello fellow sythe members. This is the first time ever I feel like I need a bit personal support and since we have this awesome forum with good members I'm trying my luck in here.
Currently, I've got my Professional Bachelor's degree in software development and unemployed(Searching for a job). Throughout my years in school I've always tried my best to manage handing in my projects before the deadline (most of the time) because I felt that I was "forced" to it because I didn't want to fall behind.
My grades weren't always the best(they were not bad either). I would get middle/high middle grades(by that I mean B's and mostly C's) but I would not work hard enough(in my opinion) because I always felt a lack in my motivation. I would just think that as long as I pass the class, it should be enough. I know for a fact that if I worked harder I would get much better and higher grades(which would also mean better knowledge of the stuff in my education).
I had no luck finding a part time job related to my studies during my school time (been to a few job interviews but got declined and gave up on them to focus on school instead). Maybe this was a mistake because finding a job would be ALOT easier to find a job if I had some experience prior.
So I'm sitting here 2 months after my graduation from school feeling a little bit regret that I didn't try harder atleast to be better at what I am going to work with in my life. Here is also the demotivation kicking in again. I could go watch tutorials on the internet but don't have the motivation to it. You may ask: is it because you don't have interest in what you do? No, I feel like this with everything that has a learning curve. I can take the first step to it, but the next few steps are really dificult because the demotivation always kicks in.
To point out an example:
I've always had a big passion for games since I was a little kid. Today (I'm 24 in May
) I am still playing many different kind of games which could bring me joy. That's why I wanted to try to learn and program my own game. I started to watch a series on youtube on how you can create mobile games on Unity 3d shortly after i ended school. The series taught me the basics which was enough to create a simple game, however this demotivation on starting on a new and the urge and need to learn new things started to kick in again. I've always had an issue on taking the last few steps and not stop in the middle of something new.
I know this was a long wall of text, but I just felt that I needed to because I've felt empty and have a hard time motivating myself to keep doing things in my life that I know will end up good. I feel like I'm wasting too much time on the internet doing nothing but browsing irrelevant stuff. So my question is how do you or what do I need to do to take the last few steps and not just give up too early because demotivation is kicking in.
TL;DR = How do you guys get rid of your demotivation?
