other How do you stay motivated when your pastime feels like a chore?

Although I adore playing guitar, but there are particular instances where practicing it becomes tedious work. The monotony of practicing one particular song throughout weeks might actually explain my lack of motivation.

Mixing my practice sessions with something new has helped me regain my enjoyment during practice. Shaking things up enables me to maintain motivation.

For me, it's running. I sometimes avoid the idea of both tying my shoes and going for a run during specific days. Creating reachable goals works as a method for me to maintain my drive. The distances race and run regularly with my group of friends and it truly functions as my motivation.

During times when writing tasks lack motivation, I tell myself that unsuccessful attempts are acceptable. Most people create several mediocre works before developing the masterpiece. Performing activities with an acceptance of imperfection frees me to relax and fully experience the process.

Turn it into a hobby to enjoy. Give yourself permission to take some time out to relax
you can shake things up. Work on something else entirely for a while

Maybe it's time to pivot.

Either look for a new hobby or try to narrow your down to something else.

When I first got into cycling, I rode so much that I started getting burned out on cycling. It was making me hate it. I then decided to try hiking out and it became my perfect balance. Now I can do both and not get sick of the other. I've always added more things like spelunking and kayaking, too.

I recommend trying new things and seeing if it helps to balance it out.

Free online videos are great way to get motivated for drumming. I like to browse stuff other people did, and then do my own take on it for music lessons on my forum.

This is an amazing idea. Taking some breaks to do what you actually enjoy is very good. That's what I will advise anyone feeling that way.

If my pastime starts to feel like a chore, I usually stop doing it altogether. I believe hobbies should bring joy and relaxation, not pressure. I take a break or try something new that feels more refreshing and fulfilling.
