I (and a lot of other brickfilmers) sometimes have a problem with motivation for brickfilming.
What are your best tips?
If brickfilming is something you only do as a hobby, you should be able to work on it whenever you feel like. However, if you want to pursue animation as a career, learning to work even when you don't want to is important. For me, planning helps a lot. I recently got a daily planner, and while I haven't used it much, when I do use it it really helps me to get more things done.

I find that some form of prize or reward helps, even if it isn't much. For example, I bet my friend 5p that I could make a film by the end of the year, and I have been working on the film harder than I usually would.
Also, it tends to be that contest entry videos are better than non-contest ones.

maybe that's why I'm never motivated 
Actually watching amazing brickfilms really motivates me, and watching brickfilm classics like Grace, because that makes me want so do the same. 
Don't ever be afraid to try something new, that's the only way to get better at Brickfilming.
