How do you stay motivated to work on your site

[Numberedpaws]

definitely need a motivation boost. Though, sometimes it's not only motivation but the fact my alters have stuff they want to do haha.

To me, the idea of having to update your site regularly is reminiscent of how social media forces us to keep posting or lose relevancy. I don't like that. Websites are completely yours and should not adhere to a schedule if you don't want that. I also think websites can really be 'done' at some point, after which there's little left to do except tweak. Don't feel like touching it? Then leave it.

I feel what was previously said in this thread very strongly. I view my website as a scrapbook and digital playground for me to create new pages and create new pages as I learn new things. Sometimes that's everyday for a week, sometimes thats once every two months. I think that we should embrace the ebs and flows of website building.

My site is a fan site and archive, so what keeps me motivated is the act of preservation! Finding an old ad or an interview recorded on a 2014 cell phone camera gives me a rush of joy I can't describe. Seeing the fandom rediscover these older bits and pieces keeps me going, especially the new ones who didn't grow up on the NatM movies.

I basically use mine in the same way, its just a big collection of the stuff i make, enjoy and/or want to share.

i also struggle w maintaining momentum on projects a lot, just in general, & it can be def really frustrating to really love/want to do something but have no motivation. for me and my site, whats worked (so far) has just been a desire to archive my own creations. in building it ive found a lot of old content i made years ago thats brought me a lot of joy, & i want to showcase that somewhere, even if other people dont get the same excitement out of seeing it as i do

I've had to accept that my activity is going to go in-and-out, since work gets in the way. Sometimes I want to write, but not code, or the other way around. I've started doing more things offline so I can leave things to be picked up later and I don't give myself immediate "due dates" for things anymore.

I don't depend on motivation, but on self-discipline because that's how I perform my masculinity. Being a man, to me, means doing shit myself whenever practical. Also, because I'm a man, nobody's gonna do it for me if I don't do it myself.

For me, similar to previous replies, I look for inspiration from other people's personal websites. If there's an interesting page I find and I think, "Hey, I can also make something like that!" then I note it down in my little task list for my blog.

Recently, the folks at 32-Bit Cafe made a list of website ideas. I haven't read the entirety of it, but the first few suggestions have already sparked some inspiration in me!

Simple! I don't, lol. Tbh I just work on it completely randomly. I haven't touched it properly in a little over half a year. In all seriousness, I only really use my website as an archive so all that drives me is "I need a place to put this new song" so I do modify my website to include it.
