don't try to focus on one thing for too long, that's what helped me. I also listen to music that puts me in a good mood as I'm working, so if you normally or just can listen to music whilst working then you should give that a try.

Try to find new things that you might somehow enjoy. Try different things from what motivated you before. Also, I'd consider learning more and more about everything, that way you get interested in something else and somehow you motivate yourself to learn more.

When I suffered from depression, I always found a book to read that lifted my spirits. A book that I will never forget that always made me smile was the Pushing the Limits series.

Keep yourself surrounded by the ones you love. Also do the activities you enjoy most as much as possible.

The best way to stay motivated is to find a couple of friends and do something that you think you will enjoy. If you go out on a long walk, it will keep you active and healthy.
