For young designers motivation to keep sketching can be one of the hardest things to keep hold of, so I though it might be a good idea to list down some ideas on how to re-energise that motivation or even recharge it with a worth while breaks from design work.

I shall start by saying that when I look at my work and find it hard to pick up that pencil in the morning, a quick 10-15 minutes of Obectfied normally helps, or a quick couple of articals from ICON. Finding something to relax my mind from a long day in the office I would have to suggest more reading I generally pick something to do with other interests such as web development or art.

So theres a few of mine what about others on here? What do you do to keep going?
