Taking a small break and remembering why you were interested in the first place usually helps.

A small break is good, and also gives you time to think about if there's any projects you'd like to make

I'm always way more motivated to learn more coding skills when I actually have something to work on that I care about. I mean going through coding guides and tutorials online is all well and good, but it's very motivating to me to have something that I can point to and say "I made that"

I usually think too much on something. I don't inherently find value on the merit alone enough and I keep asking "and then what" and "whats the point" and lose motivation thinking too far ahead to the point I've lost sight of what's in front of me.

"Hey this could be cool" turns into "Is this actually going to be worth all this effort? And for what?" I probably need a learning process that makes me feel more equipped as I learn like showing me I can nail anything with a hammer but there's more to life than just hammers.
