Hello guys.
This community is great, you people care about other people, so I want another advice from You.
I am a writer, used to be a musician, but it didn't go as planned, so now I spend days in the office, mostly writing different articles. On my previous job (also as a writer) I got paid for a number of syllables I do per day. But here I am paid mothly.
I chose this job because believed, that it will be easier for me to write understanding that I'll be paid anyway, but the thing is, I just don't want to write anything.
My job here does not only consist of writing, but the major part of it is.
I just can't force myself to write anything here, I spend hours doing other stuff, but not writing. I just stopped enjoying it and started to think about quitting...
But its not that I didn't like my job at all, sometimes it is fun, but it is a rare occasion.

What shoul I do?

I usually have a research phase before writing something. Outlining helps give the writing shape and meaning. Intro, body of writing, conclusion. All this outline is a thinking mode. If you are doing creative writing this could be different, but the research is an essential part of any writing.

seeing a therapist might help also. Maybe the rest of your life is unsatisfying. That might make work a chore.

I do short stories and poetry so it's different but I know the dilemma. Also, I don't have money as a motivator since they barely pay me at all!

Using something to block wifi helps me focus. Otherwise... Just getting started. Wish there was more to it than that...

Setting timers or having an accountability partner can also help.
