Well it happens. Week is not time period and heroin is a opioid derivative.

So, to throw a curve ball.

What is a good way of recovering from the following:
The small-medium company you worked for, for many years, got taken over by a large corporation, all of your companies products were being pulled from the shelves, you were basically being kept on (as well as 90% of the other staff) to please the bean counters and show a high number of "VIPs" that the company is "well staffed" but the work has dried up, to the point where you sit and watch videos all day and nobody cares because they are all doing the same.

Suddenly, after a year or so of this monotonous rubbish, you either get another job, or some work comes your way by some miracle, and you suddenly find you can't be arsed to do the work, because you have been used to not doing anything for so long, you have no motivation.

This may sound like a harsh case study, but some variants of the above does happen and I am interested to see how people would go about regaining their motivation.  :-+
Kjelt:
some of my personal views on motivation:
- don't stop the child in you:
     *Be curious, interested, amazed at new things, other tech, whatever.
     *keep dreaming as long as you don't demand it becomes reality it can be very nice, and who knows
       some day it might become reality
     *Have and keep having fun, as long as it cause no harm to others ofcourse.
- perspective: keep the focus to yourself. Comparing to others, envy, jealousy are bad they lead to negative energy. Jealousy can be positive though, if you find someone you lookup to, like a mentor for instance and use this to develop your skills accordingly that is positive.

For the last point, you don't have to be the best in the world, or the best in anything at all. Chance is now 1:7000000000. Looking at the olympics, only three people from a certain sport get a medal, but the others they are still great athletes, the best from their country, does that mean their 15 year training and lifeadjustments were wasted? No they did what they like and felt good about, to an extreme I would not suggest but to make the point.

Nowadays for the new generations it becomes harder to be themselves. Short deviation, if a 18yr old male wanted a partner in the farmer village in the medieval times there were perhaps 5 potentially suitable candidates available. Nowadays the whole world is on the map. I read that underage children getting cosmetically surgery because they think they are ugly. Ugly? They were beautiful but they only saw 10s of other girls on facebook each day that they thought were prettier. What are those parents thinking? :palm:
That is why unless you like "competition" you should not compare to others, it will only frustrate you.

So in short: pursue your interests balanced with work/life , have fun, share with people your interests (club, fora etc.)

Please do some research into basic pharmacology before commenting. There's no such thing as an opioid derivative. Opioids are a class of drugs and heroin is one of them.

Update on my vitamin D3 experience: It seems to be working, I started taking it in the mornings instead of tea time and I do feel a bit better.  :)

Of-course the sun is slowly getting stronger so that could explain it too.
