I've recently managed to setup a modded Skyrim install. Wanted to setup and play for months. And now... Zero. Same thing happened with bloodlines a while back.

During the day the spark of wanting to play comes. But as soon as I get home. It just disappears. And end up doing other things. It feels like wanting to play the game is more appealing than actually playing it.

How do y'all manage it?

If you’re a procrastinator it can help to use that “skill” to incentivize stuff like reading. I habitually put off going to sleep, so I’ll read as a way to delay bedtime. If I want to avoid working on a big ongoing frustrating project at work I’ll do a bunch of little work tasks to put it off. Using that desperation to do literally anything else to avoid a particular task kind of feels like a superpower!
