Lifehacker on motivation

[charamei]

Lifehacker has an article on a cunning way to stay motivated through long projects that sounds useful for all us crazy longficcers.

Basically: when you start to get bored or demotivated, take a break and do something smaller. It seems ot me that fanfic is pretty much made for this approach, since it comes in 'short' and 'long' forms by default.

Excellent article -- just reading it has encouraged me! I'm definitely one of those crazy longficcers, and of late, I've been struggling with a lack of motivation. The ideas in this article are simple, but I can see how they could still help in re-motivating. It's kind of like taking a mini-vacation -- all you need is a change of scenery sometimes to get your energy back.
