It sounds like you've got a solid grasp on the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between poker and other aspects of your life. Your advice on structuring your schedule to allow for focused study and dedicated time away from the game is spot on.
By prioritizing your mental and physical well-being alongside your poker pursuits, you're not only enhancing your overall quality of life but also safeguarding against burnout and maintaining long-term motivation.

My sincere wishes to you, my friend. It is hard to find motivation when boredom sets in. There is a lot of literature on this subject, and the advice given here is also great! Look for something that will be interesting to you; self-improvement always encourages learning and challenging yourself. Primarily, growth within limits is also a great motivator to earn more money. But all of this should be for enjoyment. All the best, I wish you not to burn out!
I have the same feeling of not being willing to play poker, although I really like this game and it is a source of extra income for me, I have several personal problems so this affects me a lot in the game, and I know how this will affect me. affect so I prefer not to play for now.
When I won a tournament of 800 people with 1$ I made 150$ that is the motivation to get tickets from +10$ to 100$ to make $$$$ and when the withdrawal falls into your bank account and you go out to spend the money that is the motivation!ChemfromUKR said:
I'm motivated by hunger, if I don't win a tournament during the week, I don't eat (? .
Jokes aside, if I'm not motivated, or rather, if I'm feeling very indifferent, I prefer not to play because my performance would be greatly affected. I think the problem lies in forcing yourself to play.

Your motivation should be directly related to your long-term poker goals. If you have long-term goals and they do not motivate you to carry out daily routine work, then you probably need to reconsider your goals, maybe they are not so relevant and important to you.
Good luck 🙂
What's the motive to go fishing? ) Fish, relax, catch... No fish in one place, go somewhere else... Don't use all the bait if you can't catch it right away, sit and watch how and where the fish swim.. The fish is only big on a big hook, otherwise if you have no skills, it will most likely leave, or maybe drag the fishing rod away...)))
Set Achievable Goals: Set realistic, measurable goals for your poker game. They can be financial goals, skill development goals, or specific tournament achievements. Achieving these goals will give you a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to continue improving.
Constantly study and improve: Spend time studying and improving your game. Read poker strategy books, watch instructional videos, review your past hands, and discuss strategies with other players. The more knowledge you gain, the more confident you will be in your game and the more motivated you will be to apply it at the table.
Find a community of players: Join online discussion groups, forums, or local poker communities where you can interact with other players. Sharing experiences, strategies, and challenges with other players can be motivating and will help you stay engaged in the game.
Vary your game: Don't limit yourself to just one type of poker game. Try different variants like Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Stud, etc. Variety can keep you interested and motivated, as well as help you develop different skills.
Celebrate your successes: Recognize and celebrate your poker achievements, whether big or small. This will help you maintain a positive attitude and stay motivated to achieve new goals.
Take breaks when necessary: It is important to balance your gaming time with adequate breaks. If you feel burned out or unmotivated, take a break from poker for a while. Sometimes a break can help you recharge and get back into the game with a fresh perspective.
Enjoy the process: Remember that poker is a game and should be fun. Focus on enjoying the process of playing and improving instead of becoming too obsessed with the results. Keep a positive attitude and enjoy the challenge that poker offers.

I guess I can only advise you one thing, just take breaks. If you play too much, you may lose interest and motivation over time. Determine your goals, priorities, make a plan, an adequate schedule, necessarily with days off and forward to the goals 🙂ChemfromUKR said:
