That's funny. I don't try to do things to make me motivated. If I'm not motivated I make myself motivated. Almost like triggering the endorphins in my brain by myself. XP

I struggled with lack of motivation when I worked as the only creative in a corporate environment, and thought it would get better after I went out on my own. Now though, it's triggered by having all innovation shaved from my concepts draft by draft, until I'm left with end-products I'm ashamed of...but paid well for. Maybe we should start a thread for "most hideous result of client intervention" that might make me feel better.
Right now I'm hoping that joining this forum is a step toward becoming re-motivated. It's refreshing to see how others solve visual problems, and to see all aspects of design issues discussed - personal and professional.
Also changing routine seems to help a little. Maybe changing clients would help more...
