I sometimes get really tired and don't want to do anything. I just stare at my DAW screen for minutes.
How do you make yourself do the job? I am curious how some producers get constantly inspired by small things, and produce new songs often.

Honestly, I don't stay motivated all the time. I'm really frequently at a loss when it comes to creativity and stuff. The best thing to do is stay positive. Maybe once in a while stop listening to your favorite music. Take a week long break and listen to nothing but classical or jazz or something, completely ignore soundcloud, etc. Sometimes all you need is a breath of fresh air and it all comes back to you.

Always separate production from composition, it'll make your life easier and you'll be more motivated to do both. you won't be motivated if you have to think too deeply just to create a mix/song.

If you got cool melodies, write them down or just record them on your phone as an audio note. you'll be back to them later when you need ideas.

For production, just screw around with tools and create presets that you'll  find useful, when you'll be working on a song again you have something to use without thinking too much ahead.

And organize your DAW if you aren't planning to do music at all. bottom line, always do something with your DAW even when you don't have a full project.

Listing to un finished tracks has always a big motivator. Easy to get hyped sifting through projects

I kinda just go through stages. There are some days all I want to do is produce. But then I have dry parts where I don't make anything for months.

It's not easy, and I don't think its really possible to stay motivated 24/7..

I myself go thru stages where I can be inspired for months then go into a deep lull.  But tbh I think the best way is to make a habit of just making music so even if your not inspired you'll still be able to work.

I a lot of times get inspired by listening to other's work, like if its technically impressive and blows my mind it makes me excited to open up my DAW and fool around in it.

This is good advice. Its such a bummer when I'm in the middle of writing a song and I have to spend half an hour messing around in massive and saturator just to get one sound I could have made a week ago. It really kills the momentum!

I ran into this exact scenario tonight.

I started working on a track, and had some decent success, I was finding elements I wanted to put in the track easily, and I made them fit together well, I was really feeling it, but then out of nowhere, I hit a wall. Now I saved the project, and had to get away from my production area. I don't know how to best fight past that and keep working on it, or just keep working on music in general.

I'd love to hear your tips on this all too often occurring problem.
