It's stupid, but I really wish sometimes that like everything else we can just buy motivation somewhere.
Ever since my depression, I've been having a hard time to get motivated. And I have tons of things to do for my teaching job, I transferred to a new classroom and I have yet to make it conducive to learning.
I try to give myself a pep talk but it doesn't work.
So, how do you guys get yourself motivated?

I write stuff i need to do down then try to complete and tick off as I do so. And as someone suggested take a break and do something that you like doing with out being prompted to that will help in re-energizing you.

I actually have like 2 pages worth of plans I want to be done before the end of the year comes, and therein stems my worries if I'd ever get things done in time so I get deflated and unmotivated...but I'm like taking a breather right now, I guess I need to tick off things that can be put off till next year...

@marapplestiffy Take one item at a time and if new year gets you before you are done, just do a new list starting with what you have carried forward

It's just so difficult because it used to be so easy...

Stiffy! Is that your surname?
That's the first I've had a while. Follower that is.
Teaching must be a tough job if you are suffering depression.
Motivation comes from a desire or need to do something. Just take small steps and don't worry how long it takes to get where you want to be.

Read or watch inspirational stories, perhaps? Surround yourself with people who are positive and wouldn't give negative vibes.
