Sometimes it’s hard to find motivation for your projects — or in general your work and your personal life.
For myself, I noticed after my exams and work I had to do a feeling of freedom but also confusion. I was relaxed and had finally the time to focus more on my health. Doing some sport and eating good food felt great.

However, I wanted to create something - build something on my own. I had these ambitions to get out of my comfort zone and create, but I had no plan, no written goals.

Sometimes that is okay, you cannot always have a whole plan figured out. I said to myself this is okay, I need some time for myself and find my focus. After a little break, relaxing and doing things needed to be done in the household and sorting my documents — After cleaning my mind & my house — I enjoyed this time for myself. I was finally ready to create — I made plans, wrote it down in my journal, and was ready to go out and do things I wasn’t ready before and are out of my comfort zone (like writing articles in English).

So if you feel plan-less at some point in your life. Is a symbol for you to get some rest, some time for yourself — clean up your mind and your environment — and write down what you want in the future and the things you need to do right now to achieve these goals.

1. Relax (have some time to clean up your mind & environment)
2. Write down what you want in life & how to achieve this in the present
3. Get out of your comfort zone — have your goals in mind
