this may be a strange question to ask here but I feel like we all mostly think alike so I want to ask you people. Have you ever had days where you felt upset by something or just bored with your current assignment/project? if so, how do you force your way through it?

I agree with others. I am not really sure how to express it, but for hobby projects. They are interesting in the beginning, but then they eventually start to feel overwhelming, which causes me to lose interest in working on them.
"Cleaning up" does a lot to help relieve that sense of not wanting to touch the projects. This could also be things like, creating better tooling, automating testing, etc.
In summary: creating small zen gardens.
That is if you have energy to work on projects in general, but just not a specific project. If you are feeling a lack of desire to work on *any* project, then you would need to look into other things like stress, etc. · 2 years ago
That's me everyday. I wish I could say I have a good strategy to combat it but I do not. Usually once I actually make a start I get into whatever it is I'm working on, but overcoming that initial hurdle is really difficult. · 2 years ago
I find boredom on a project ususally comes from stress. Lack of familiarity, vague requirements, tedious tooling, etc. Just make a start on the most obvious bit you can find. The rest often flows from that. Being upset can be a consequence of an overwhelming (aka 'boring') project. I think sensible eating, hydration, and excercise do a lot for emotional wellbeing. · 2 years ago
As for code. I usually start refactoring stuff, making things easier to understand, as "messy code" is the number 1 killer of interest in any project I have done. · 2 years ago
