others prefer to be a manager for many people, so you don't go as deep
yourself, but get to have a hand in everything)

\- What other things can motivate you about your daily work or work
environment? (e.g. a good cafeteria, short commute, flexible hours, etc.)

The balance of how important each of these aspects are vary from person to
person, and for a person over time. For example I was working at a game engine
company and while I loved the vision (that I could help thousands of creative
people turn their ideas onto reality) and the colleagues (places with great
visions tend to attract really cool people) and while it was initially a fun
challenge to get the hang of C++, I eventually got tired of the cruft of a
legacy codebase, and probably most importantly, I felt like I was wasting my
most productive years realizing someone else's dream instead of building up a
company of my own, like I'd been dreaming of. I was lucky enough to find a co-
founder just at the right time, because I also know about myself that I tend
to get demotivated if I'm not interacting with other people daily.

Anyways, the point is, 'fighting down' procrastination is a necessary skill
sometimes, but sometimes you also just have to listen to what your
subconscious is telling you about what motivates you and find something that
does. It's important every once in a while to look at both if you're going
somewhere you want to go, and if the path that you're taking there is one you
care to walk on. There's no shame in realizing that something that used to
motivate you doesn't anymore, or something else has become more important to
you now. People grow, and boredom and dissatisfaction is part of what drives
us to do so.

Burnout drains your motivation, but unlike depression, it goes away when you
go on vacation and lose the deadlines. Read up on it a bit, and if it sounds
like what you're experiencing, do what Google tells you (take a break, focus
on intrinsic motivation over extrinsic, align your motivation with your goals,
take care of your body, etc.)
on and focus on just a few tasks at a meter while 
 others choose to be a manager for many people, therefore you don't become as deep 
 yourself, but get to hold a hand in everything)
