same! when I get bored, I just engage in the warriors fandom (warriors is my favorite book series). I often find it hard to finish bracelets, too. I try to, but sometimes I just can't. if anyone knows a good way to stay motivated, I'd be thankful for suggestions! sorry I can't help! 🙁

I've been trying to motivate myself to finish one. I'm making a 24 strings pattern and I've only made 2 inches of it so far. I've been at it for days loll. I try to at least knot a row every day.

When I make bracelets, I make sure to set aside about a 30 minute time period with no distractions. I have a good playlist of music to keep me motivated. I just have to make sure I don't mess with my phone. When that time is up I'll take about twenty minutes for a break and then I get right back into it. When I feel unmotivated, I am less likely to procrastinate if I don't have distractions around me.

If I'm not feeling into a bracelet, I usually watch Masha Knots (or another bracelet youtuber) to get me motivated. I also like to watch TV while I make bracelets because it's something to keep my hands moving, and it doesn't really matter if I don't like the colors or whatever, because I'm focused on the TV, and the rhythm of my knotting.

There is a trick that can be applied to anything called the 2-minute rule. Basically, when you start something, it should take less than two minutes to do. For example: Do a few knots, or if you're doing smaller bracelets, you can tell yourself to do one row. Once you finish that, you are more likely to keep going. I hope this helps 🙂
