I want to hear anything you guys have to say in regards to sustaining motivation/willpower and focus over long periods of time.
I am very much a 'doer' and I am most happy when I am working furiously towards a goal. I feel absolutely euphoric when I am in this state, and I want to maximise it and reach my full creative potential. I don't care if it takes some time off my life to do this.
I think about this issue a lot, but I struggle to understand why my motivation and focus fluctuate so much.
I'm interested in hearing about diet, lifestyle, exercise, outlook, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, supplements, drugs; anything you believe is implicated in creative drive.
I'm interested in the long term. Nicotine, for example, increases my motivation immensely in the short term, but it seems to mess with things after a few days of use, so I think it's best to be avoided (for me).
Thank you!
