Welcome to the forum! This is a very important question, and one that I think many of us are struggling with or have been at some point. I really appreciate you taking action on this and asking about resources publicly.
Probably my favorite write-ups on this topic is Replacing Guilt by Nate Soares. The first part addresses âlistless-guiltââthat feeling that there is something that you should do but you donât know what and there is no specific motivation to guide you.
Here is a relevant question that has been asked on the forum previously, and may have further sources.
I also want to remind you that itâs perfectly okay not to feel motivated right now. This can come in waves, and you might just randomly come across something which would make you motivated again. Itâs tough to feel motivated without supporting community and structure (if thatâs the case youâre in). You might also consider joining the EA Virtual Group, or volunteer for an ongoing EA project.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. Iâve starting to read the Replacing Guilt series, it really seems impactful. And aiming to join the virtual group soon!
