Lots of people responding to the "get shit done" post seem to be talking about how they procrastinate or "think" but don't like to work hard. If you want to get to the top of your field, whatever it is, it's not enough to just be smart. You also need to love to work hard in your field. If you don't love to work hard in your field and you do want to get to the top of the field, you're on a road to problems because everyone at the top of your field is as smart as you are AND they are driven by passion to work incredibly hard. You can't get into their league without both. So, if you want to get to the top of your field and don't want to work hard in it, my advice is either (a) find the joy that makes you want to work hard or (b) find a different field that does bring you that joy and desire to work hard. (Note there is no requirement that you want to get to the top of your field, this is just for those who do want to do so)
