I used to have the same problem, and now I can barely stop working! I grab the opportunity to start. What changed? I'm not sure, but I think it's that I'm working on a project that I believe in, that's more challenging to me, and that I feel in more control over. I used to be the guy who got added to a team that was already in progress, but now I'm the guy who was working on this project from the very start, and I'm determined to see it through. I feel more ownership over the project. How do you get there? No idea, but I just made a proposal for a new project and I've got 4 days to make a prototype. This sort of thing seems to work for me. Maybe you need to figure out what works for you.

> What changed? I'm not sure, but I think it's that I'm working on a project that I believe in To me, this is the difference between being able to work 3 hours a day vs being able to work 16 hours a day. To quote Steve Jobs: "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."
