I think switching the context is a good way to go.

As I said in one of the above comments, I was working on tooling for the week, and I was feeling good about it (I was motivated).

julianusti··on Ask HN: What do you do when you've lost motivation at work?
quitting is the easiest way to go, I'm trying to solve it in a different way. Which way you ask? I still don't have an answer, that's why asking here.
julianusti··on Ask HN: What do you do when you've lost motivation at work?
:)
julianusti··on Ask HN: What do you do when you've lost motivation at work?
yeah man, that's the thing, that leaving the work is the easiest solution. It's like your survival instincts are talking to you, to go in a way where you don't have to fight.

I feel If I leave the job I'll just follow my survival instincts and not solve the real problem.

Which is almost impossible when you are geek or even worse - software entrepreneur aka. startup founder. I feel like we lost something very important in our lives when the computer has been invented.

I've ellaborate a little on the root couse of my problem in the first comment.

Ragrdig what you've said. >Since I am motivated by making things more efficient, taking >a week to focus on better test automation and feeling the >reward of making my colleagues' lives a bit better.

That's what I exactly did last week for example. I've been building a tool for performance testing and automation and I was feeling good. Now, I'm done with this and I have to get back to my daily routines, which not making me happy. Moreover, one of my good teammate is leaving and that's just makes everything even more worse :)

Thanks a lot @YCode, I really like what you've said and it make sense to me.

The money wasn't prior number 1 for me, so probably it's not about the money.

What is really matters for me are people that surrounding me every day when I come to office.

Recently, we've been merged with another team. We where doing a great job before, a team spirit was so great that we where able to deliver better than others.

I literully was waking up with a huge smile on my face, because I knew that today we gonna do some awesome shit (no matter if it is bug fixing or performance improvements or new features).

Now, we have super huge team tons of projects and instead of goals that we are desire to achieve we have tasks that we have to close.

Now, I waking up with a sad face, because I know that today I'm going to "close the next issue", instead of "work on chalanging problem" that makes everyone in a team to feel proud of that.
