On a bit of slump

Fred27

I seem to be on a bit of slump when it comes to electronics lately. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else gets this sometimes or has any suggestions how to get out of it. When I say a slump, I mean that I just haven't seemed to find the time - or to some degree the enthusiasm - to get any projects going lately.

 

There are perhaps a few reasons. I was going to mention a few things that have been a bit rough lately, but decided not to. They're probably similar to the stuff everyone's been coping with. I'm not depressed, I'm just sorta lacking the enthusiasm to get on with stuff right now. I've had depression in the past, so know how that can be. It's not that now though - I'm still in a reasonable mood most of the time and enjoy getting out to meet friends when I can, etc.

 

Anyway, it's time to get back on top of things. I almost didn't apply for the Summer of FPGA design challenge. (Not enough time. The DIY job list growing. The usual excuses.) I'm hoping this will give me a reason to kick start things.

  • Hi Fred,

     

    I'm in a hobby-electronics kind of slump right now too.

    My excuse is that the renovations have been using up all of my time and energy, but even now that we're taking more time off I'm just not feeling motivated yet.

    I'm not going to push it, and just allow myself to be lazy for a while.

    I do enjoy staying in touch here at element14, so while I'm not on any active project or contest, I'm still exposed to all the great ideas, and the inspiration that comes from everyone here image

     

    Best,

    -Nico
