Most, if not all of us have gone through the point of having no motivation to do what we have loved for so long. I have had a lack of wanting to produce content lately which has ended up with about 100 pictures that need to be edited and two short videos that need to also be edited. What do you guys usually do to get back in the mood?

I feel you OP. I'm not the biggest content producer by any means, but I've been blowing off putting together my season edit for so long this year. I think its because I've been bummed on my bad knee. It is hard to get back in the mood.

school work and other sports have been slaughtering my motivation

I haven't made any thing new since the beginning of september. I have a wake boarding edit still in the works since august. Hopefully this season will bring back some time to work on all of my projects.

Sit down, make time to start doing work, and just get into it. When I feel resistance in editing, I just tell myself, "You know you love to do it, so why are you resisting it?!" Once you get started, you're not gunna wanna stop. Just make some time, sit down, and start

You probably just need new stuff to work on, when I work too much on the same footage I get this kind of down phase you're describing.

I'm in this exact phase right now (just like every year around this time), I just see it as a little break before the season starts. Instead of editing I work on other related stuff. For example, you can think about projects you wanna put together this season, work on your concept, contact skiers or filmers you wanna work with, etc.

Everything is already set up for this coming season. I've been trying new things but idk ya know? I'll give it time I guess
