I know I'm a monster but my answer would be something along the lines of "suck it up". We're on this planet for 80 years or so. There's going to be some repetit

  Kind of bugs me that is going to be so far down the page :( You're such a monster for invoking the Occam's Razor of solutions. /s I like building novelty stuff too, but I've found that stability and security in life is far more fun. I sucked it up and busted my ass for what I have now, and life is fucking great! Sure there may have been some missed opportunities, but I look at what I have now and regret nothing. Some weeks suck, some other weeks I get this niggling and build some crazy projects in my free time. It all ebbs and flows.

  Quite agree. My question is "how"?

  In my experience, advice to "suck it up" usually indicates a lack of understanding on the part of the advisor, and an assumption that your mental state is similar to that of the person asking for help. The OP is asking for strategies, alternate ways of viewing things, ideas he hasn't though of or dismissed. "Suck it up", is something we all try, or attempt to convince ourselves we "just" have to do. It usually doesn't work. The brain is changed by tricks and nudges, not some doomed-to-fail attempt at overriding yourself through (easily depleted) willpower. If sucking it up worked for you, then you are probably in a very different situation.

  I see it the other way... 80 years is nothing! There's way too much out there to learn.
