The title is really vague, so I’ll try to clarify my intentions here:

I am an ardent supporter of FOSS. It will be greatly beneficial for my life and especially my privacy to self-host such software. Yet, I cannot find much motivation to do so.

However, when it comes to hosting software for public use, I can usually give my utmost concentration and dedication.

This is not how I want my life to be. I want to be motivated for myself as well as for the community. And if that’s not possible, I need to trick my brain into bringing me into that kind of zone for myself.

What do I do? What would you do in this situation?

    look at yourself from the 3rd-person perspective.

    treat yourself the way you would treat someone else.

      I think I’m pretty dumb. A third person would be very contextual; a third person who is a guru in FOSS, or a random person from the street?

      All I really want to do is to find motivation to host FOSS, both for myself and the world
