Motivation?

[Emandion]

I often find I lose motivation amazingly quickly with maps I create.

It's usually because I just get a bit bored. But sometimes I forget I'm making one, run out of ideas, etc.

Any tips of staying motivated and following a map through til' the end?

Turn off your computer, go to the WC to empty yourself, go outside or look out the window and think about the meaning of life.

conquer your inner temptation and go on... open other really go(o)d maps from other authors and think about what you like there... or make a new map and continue your current fallen project an other day...

Easy, just think about why are you doing your map: if it is some project that you are developing with a team, I think this is motivation enough, since I think you really don't want to disapoint your team.

If it is something just by yourself, and something that you have just a moment of great will to do, just close the editor and do other stuff you like (in or out of your PC), and maybe in a few hours or weeks, the will to do it is going to appear again. If it doesn't, it is because your map won't go any further, just do a new one you want to (this happenned to me sometimes, so of like 20 maps, I actually finished like 5 or 6, LOL)
