Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how to stay motivated during those still, silent moments whether it’s keeping watch in a quiet room or losing myself in a book for hours. As an astronomer, I’m no stranger to long stretches of solitude, but sometimes the lack of external stimulation makes it hard to stay focused or inspired.
How do you all keep your drive alive when everything around you is calm? Do you have little rituals or mental tricks to stay engaged? I’d love to hear what works for you, especially from fellow book lovers or anyone who thrives in quieter spaces. Maybe there’s a connection between finding motivation in silence and the patience it takes to collect NFTs or wait for celestial events. Curious to hear your thoughts!
