Losing motivation to complete the project.

101 points theunalike 83 comments

I am working on an project, planning to open source it, it is almost 75% complete, but now, it just don't feel motivated enough to complete it.

Each day, I just open the codebase and stare, then close it. Then I think of using Claude, then feel it will degrade the quality, and the project is close to my heart, so don't want to stain it AI slop.

I have also made project, thinking it will restrict the scope so that i will feel motivated. But it seems, it is not working as planned.

Have you faced it? What to do? Any advice?
