Q2: MakersHourQuestions (npub1q3r…v6fy)
We’ve talked about how you motivate yourself…but how would you help a demotivated Maker friend?
A2: Hmmmm…. I think I would try the thing that works on me, which is to ask them for help solving a problem.
I would then encourage them to work on the problem with me ‘because it is helping me’ and, hopefully, that would get them more motivated to do something else, too.
