I think your mindset might be a bit different than mine. Or at least my current one. I have a ton of really challenging, awesome stuff to do. I just have been conditioned to hate "work". I feel insanely good when I'm procrastinating but get hit with an awful few hours later.
Whenever I put a shit ton on my plate, I do 0 of it. I know I should be able to get it all done but the thought of "work" prevents me. I consume a shit ton of information when I'm not working and as a result I'm actually really good at given other people ideas. I gave my cousin an idea and drew up a business plan that now nets him a very lucrative income on the side. I helped grow a brand from 1k to 100k followers just by giving them social media advice and some hacks I learned from observing Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferriss.
I'm great at giving others a push start and I've been told I'm a good motivator. I just have low self confidence in some areas and suck at finishing anything

- TheSOB88 13y agoFeynman considered working out those equations for those complex physical things "fun". He must have been an extraordinarily talented thinker because that sounds like work to me. What's fun to me? Swimming. I enjoyed working on my last project at work, but it wasn't "fun"; I had to constantly force myself to get started and keep up the momentum each day. My mind is infested with so many little demons. For some reason, lately anything that requires effort shuts down the reward centers of my brain.
