Be careful here -- I am quite motivated, I am just completely unclear what's
needed and more importantly *why* -- and until then, if there's another way
around a given problem without having to implement it directly, depending on
what it is, that too might be just as favourable.  I am not clear where your
perceived "lack of motivation" is coming from; speak only for yourself.  :)
