The Problems of an Autodidact Wannabe

Sometimes you just don't have a motivation to really embark on the projects you set out for yourself. That has been my problem. I know the things I would like to do but unfortunately I have lost all motivation to move forward. I don't know if it is the recent downturn in my mood that has left me questioning my intellect or it's the aging and feeling no sense of accomplishment that has made me procrastinate. I could also just be making a ton of excuses for myself.
