I don't love the grind. So these observations/tips to myself are in spite of loving the grind. What helps me a bit to get through the grind is to observe myself while working or applying for jobs. I'm noticing when I get into things, and when I am not getting into things and asking myself why. Sometimes it's really clear why, but sometimes it's subtle. In rare cases I can tweak my inner psychology a bit to like things a bit more, i.e. suffer less. Now that I'm finally working, I have ample of opportunity to see when I'm in a flow state :)
