Anyone that's moderately "gifted" struggles with this. Your whole life from kindergarten through college is spent in a cycle of working hard for a day then coasting for two weeks. It's hard to break out of that cycle unless you're in really challenging situations like a really competitive job or a startup. Then you look around and see people that work moderately hard every day and their life somehow seems easier.
You can try constantly learning new things, especially things you can't master in a day or two. I'm always picking up a new hobby like chess, photography, illustration, backpacking, playing guitar, teaching elementary age kids, etc. Just understand that you'll probably never "master" any of these, since your interest will fade quickly once they no longer challenge you.
I wish I had a solution for this.
