You could move workout to the morning when your testosterone levels are highest during the day-night cycle. Easier gains.
Do you have data to backup the fact that you would make more muscle gains by training in the morning? Testosterone levels are higher, yes, but muscles are weaker in the morning and your cortisol levels are higher. I usually weight train in the afternoon/evening.

Pair programming with less experienced members of the team. It was very important for me, because previously, when i had "bad day" i was ending with completely wasted day. Now, even when i am not able to do work myself i am still able to boost significantly someones output.
For solo projects, watching advanced tutorials, or conference talks about technology beneficial for current project gives me sense of progress during days when i am unable to code.

Yet somehow there is the pleasant feeling of doing what you are "meant to do" and the unpleasant feeling of wasting years of your life without doing what you are "meant to do". Imagine a hypothetical "universal basic income" with a twist: you have to work for 8 hours a day, doing whatever you choose to do, and it doesn't have to be profitable at all. But you have to do something , because in this hypothetical univers…
Your reasoning is very poor. Such thought experiments might convince an elementary school student, but that's it.
Usually if I just do a little bit of anything at all to bring my project forward, the momentum will carry me.
Absolutely make a formal schedule and stick to it as best you can. Schedule a day that you would want and be satisfied with. Separate work time and leisure time, otherwise as a solo dev you feel guilty for not working all the time, which makes it harder to start work. Don't expect yourself to "want" to start working all the time, because you won't. That's the mistake a lot of people make. Get started on small, easy t…
This is exactly what I feel. Thanks for clarifying this for me :)

I got the idea from the book Indistractable by Nir Eyal if you want to look more into dealing with distractions in general
Solo ventures are very challenging and there is a lot of emotion baked in. So think through what has changed recently. The biggest fears from my experience are: is this the right product? Do people actually want it? Are you going to finish fast enough? Do I have the right life balance? (keeping relationships, family, kids, friendships; eating right, exercise, sleep)?
Not an easy discussion with yourself, but I think when you believe you are on the right path and are making good decisions it will flow again!
