Motivation is not a reliable supply, and waiting for it hands your week over to your mood. The feeling of purpose tends to arrive during the work rather than before it, which means the days you start flat are not evidence that you are in the wrong place. They are just days. Acting first and feeling second is the normal order.
Set the smallest version of the commitment and keep it regardless of how you feel on the day. Turn up, do twenty minutes, leave. Note how often the interest appears about ten minutes in, since that pattern is the whole argument.
What do you still do on days it feels pointless?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
