Ask What is your strategy for staying motivated when working alone all day?

[Brendan]

It is quite easy to lose interest in your tasks when you do not have any colleagues around to talk to. Sitting in a quiet room for many hours can make the day feel very long and boring. I sometimes struggle to keep my energy up when there is nobody to challenge me or share ideas with during the afternoon. How do you keep yourself inspired to finish your projects when you are the only one in the room? What special habits keep you moving forward?
