(Sara Bareilles - Love Song)
The new year has started. But Captain obvious has made it into yet another year. The world never ended, I'll graduate this year, and physics is starting to become simpler by the day, and hence more boring. Finding good motivation becomes more difficult, and working a job becomes more attractive, do something practical. Building new things, sharing knowledge, developing new knowledge and earning money in the process is what I'd like.
Learning Katsnelson's important formula's (no matter how interesting his course was) is just not interesting. Rederiving my thesis results from a year ago is also not very motivating.
On the other hand, these things are giving me great new idea's:
- Entanglement wire's
- Entanglement Diode's.
And even a Quantum transistor.
Yet, they don't serve as a form of motivation. It seems that I have reached the goal I wanted when I was 15, and I have no new goals to do. Other then to be super healthy again.
So instead, I am just sitting here, trying to get negatives from the 60's scanned. Looking for a new computer, and trying to find a camera to fit on my twenties camera stand.
How do you motivate yourself when everything seems boring?
Maybe finding a goal that has no deadline and requires maintenance forever. Or make a new goal of the next level. Or the ambitious "if everything that is there is boring make something new" kind of thing. At least these are what I do.

Having work as play is ideal but rare to be able to achieve. But maybe something that isn't too tedious or boring to make adequate money off as stability and then seeking adventures, which could or could not be rewarding, on the side could be easier to find.
