Everyday i wake up with no motivation to work. Spend most of my day trying to gather any will i have to get something done and just wait for the evening standup. After which i have no energy to do anything since all was lost trying to ( not necessarily doing ) work. Can anyone relate? Or gone through it? How do you even fix it?

Lost motivation to work

Software Engineer

Welcome to Mental Well-being's Private Community

These days, I feel lost at work. I keep procrastinating, with the first half of my mornings consumed by calls, and by the afternoon, I feel sleepy. I tell myself I’ll work at night but end up postponing it until early morning. I give 'in progress' updates during stand-ups, and somehow manage to finish everything under pressure on the last day of the sprint. It feels like I can’t motivate myself to work until the pressure hits. How can I overcome this behavior?

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Heyall, I'm feeling demotivated in workplace. Primary reason: I always keep a small circle and likes 1:1 chats only. But in workplace everyone  seems to keep a relation with managers that even if they do something wrong the managers doesn't care. But if I do some mistake they don't mind taking it to everywhere as a blame. I think I'm getting into the boring and demotivated side of me. Is this normal for first timers?

Feeling demotivated in workplace

Thanks to social media, my attention span has new lows. Working remotely is making me inactive and end up spending tooo much time on scrolling. Not able to continuously work for even one hour without checking the phone. Anyone in a similar situation and how are you trying to get better?

How do you motivate yourself

Product Manager

For the last 2 months I have been trying to go to the gym and take care of my health but every week something or the other comes up and I'm working more than 14+ hrs sometimes. 12 hrs is average.


Every time something is going on in my mind around my work or performance or layoffs and a lot of things.  

I'm frustrated. Can somebody tell me what should be the best way to handle this?

Because of this I have high anxiety and also not getting proper time for personal life. 

I also feel a lot demotivated sometimes , thinking that why I'm working till 2am and for what?

How do you keep yourself motivated and disciplined. I almost forgot that this is a new year. Yes, I'm supposed to be motivated and work on my resolutions 🥲, I often find myself settling for less and slipping into a comfort zone. 
Occasionally, I get bursts of motivation and make plans, but I struggle to stay on track. My attention span has reduced, and I easily get distracted, especially with phone notifications. I've tried digital well-being tools, but the real solution seems to be strict discipline. 

How do others tackle this issue? I'm eager to learn from different perspectives and strategies.

How do you stay motivated and productive when working from home?

Being someone who gets bored easily, I don't have that urge, or lets say am reluctant to start work everyday (analytics - not a fresher). 
Keeping switching aside, what's something I could do to find ownership? If not for turning this to something extremely interesting, least I wouldn't want to go through this every morning. 

I understand there's many out there doing it just for the money. Apne koi turning points he tho share kardo yaar, kuch try kar lete hein. It's Monday tomorrow :(

And I don't have a coworking space nearby

Fed up with wfh situation. Feeling depressed whole day, any suggestion on resolving this?

Some days going to office just feels like I am just existing to show up. 

Anybody feeling the same way?

Just Showing Up

Yeah Same Bro, My Office lacks a culture of keeping folks motivated, it fails to give a reason for people to come to office. No office parties or informal catch-ups for over a year makes it worse.

I am thinking of switching but what if the same happens in other companies as well ?

How to stay motivated when you don't get recognition ?

Currently the company work at,  isn't doing good. We have had a lot of layoffs and the people that are left are either trying to switch jobs or are stuck due to external factors. 
There has been little to no communication from our management and we have no idea about the future of the company.

Feeling dejected

Analyst

I am an engineer and have been working remotely since the pandemic started. Initially, it was great as I could save time by not commuting to office but now I feel like I am missing out on something.

I don't know what it is but I just feel like I need to be in an office environment to thrive. Maybe it's the social aspect or the structure of having set hours, but whatever it is, I can't seem to find the same level of motivation when working from home.

Anyone else feeling this way? Any tips on how to make remote work more productive and enjoyable?

100% remote work is not working for me

I personally feel that it is much better if we work from home because I don’t fucking care about work at all.

When I was job hunting a few months back, I told the head hunter that a couple of companies she proposed was not something I believed in, in the nicest way possible. Maybe a dick move, idk. She told me it’ll be impossible for me to find a job in this market if this was my attitude. 

After that, a month later, she ghosted me when I asked her if she has any leads. I spoke to a few friends and they said it’s a good thing to want to truly believe in what the company does and few told me it didn’t matter. 

To me it does, because I have always worked in very early startups and I see my time also as an investment. And not to mention, early stage startups are tedious to work in. You lose your motivation if you don’t feel like you’re contributing to a great extent in multiple areas. 

What’s your take on it? Is it alright as long as you get the money in your account?

How many of you truly believe in what you do at work?

Growth Manager

I have around decade of work in IT sector, have decent pay but can't seem to like my work anymore. Is it because
- of fully remote work? No outside interaction 
- I'm in the wrong career. No passion for domain
- this is natural? Happens to everyone 
- I need a break ? Burnout
