Staying motivated

[Mike the Pike]

Seriously, I recommend taking a break form all things gaming related. Read that new SF/Fantasy series you have been meaning to read. Read some WW2 biographies. Play some FPS games. Talk to your wife.
After a week or two away you should be itching to get back on the horse. Either that or you'll completely lose interest in gaming

I Just start another army... or when I am feeling like I do not want anything more to do with the hobby... I take a few nights off and watch TV... like now I am watching the World Cup... and Playing BB on-line.. with Spvena.. ouch that hurts... I am also fixn' to start playing Football again after about 5 years...

I would have to agree with MtP... (wow I can believe I just typed that)

Make some family time or do something a little less creative... like hanging out or having a BBQ with some of your mates...

That said, for painting and modeling, I've found that if I don't feel like doing it, nothing makes me feel like doing it quite like just doing it. I'll sometimes look at my to-do box and just groan and not feel like touching it, but if I force myself to put together or paint just one model, I'll often find that I'm enjoying it and working on more stuff before I know it.

Hey,
This worked. At least enough for me to start on my Malifaux crew. Thanks
