The title is really vague, so I’ll try to clarify my intentions here:
I am an ardent supporter of FOSS. It will be greatly beneficial for my life and especially my privacy to self-host such software. Yet, I cannot find much motivation to do so.
However, when it comes to hosting software for public use, I can usually give my utmost concentration and dedication.
This is not how I want my life to be. I want to be motivated for myself as well as for the community. And if that’s not possible, I need to trick my brain into bringing me into that kind of zone for myself.
What do I do? What would you do in this situation?
Somebody mentioned keeping a guide/blog online about the things I do, which is perhaps a round-about way of tricking my brain.
TBH there’s plenty of Jellyfin guides out there haha you don’t need (and likely shouldn’t) follow a specific one.
Well, see now thats the thing…there are plenty of cookbooks out there, but I have my own preference as to which I own.
I most definitely need to write things down to keep shit organized- in my corporate life I wrote many “books” for each account i opened and updated my own account “book” every year.
On a daily basis I used a lined paper grid: Top left; shit needed to be done today, Top right, new shit; bottom left, shit to be done but not urgent/this week; and bottom right long term goals/projects This had to be on a clipboard and not a closed binder because: out of sight, out of mind.
Your saying I’m lacking motivation because I’m not organized enough?
Just throwing out what helps me with motivation…if it helps it helps, if not then we spent a good time in a discussion and thought process…should be over coffee but there you go.
I will try it, thanks
