A few months ago, I decided to move accounts, and one of the reasons I had for doing this was to get new chances at consistency. You know, sharing projects at a consistent rate. At the time I was super motivated to create and explore everything I could do on Scratch, and thus, once I moved, I put this in my What I'm working on: "New project every week". Yup, I decided to share weekly projects (and should have known that I was setting myself up for failure there lol). I did that for about three months, I think, and then changed by schedule to "at least every two weeks". My reason for doing that was because I became unmotivated to share and felt really pressured to share every week. And then, the 3.0 update came out. I don't exactly hate or love 3.0, but this project isn't about 3.0 feedback. The reason why I bring up 3.0 is because once it released, I was really overwhelmed by the huge update that I didn't really work on any projects. But then I came up with ideas, and acted on them! I made and created projects and was really invested in creating them. And now, I'm back to where I was before. I'm unmotivated to create projects anymore, and I have a few reasons for that. One is that I'm busy. Would you like to know everything that I have going on in my life right now? 1. Gymnastics 2. School 3. Theater 4. Exercising 5. Re-organizing my room 6. Finishing up irl projects from three years ago Sooo yeah. I have all of that to work on, and I feel like Scratch has just become an extra thing. And i'm no longer finding joy or satisfaction in completing or creating projects. Oh yeah, something I've been thinking about a lot is "satisfaction", like, "will I be satisfied if I do this task or if I don't do it?" It just helps to think about which tasks are worth my time. I no longer find as much satisfaction in Scratch as I used to, and hence, I no longer share projects. I just feel like I need to make more room in my life for what I do want to do and ~will~ find satisfaction in doing, which is the stuff I listed above. And I feel like I can give up Scratch. This of course, does not mean that I will never share Scratch projects again. There might be days when I come up with a really good idea and create it. I just don't want to be bound to creating a project every. Single. Week. I just feel like being kind of, "Free-range" I guess, will motivate me on it's own, in a weird way. So yeah.
