How can I keep the motivation high when I'm building a Principles Library over many years?

So it's now many, many years that I'm building my Service Design principles library.

Basically a place where I put all the tips, advice and ideas, I have to improve the lives of people in the experiences that I design.

For example, at the moment, writing is something that I don't enjoy as much as before.

So, what do I do?

I shoot videos that I then edit.

And then use the transcripts of these videos to have written Service Design principles.

Changing the way you write, the tools you use, having a new platform where I publish, stuff using another medium, like video or audio. Or just playing with the structure of the Service Design Principles helps me to still continue through the years to publish them. At least that's something that works for me because I'm a bit nerdy and I like to play with new tools.
