There's too many distractions, and even if you achieve your goal, 10000 people have done it before you, and faster/better
well yeah but that same shit goes for everyone so all that really matters at the end of the day is just doing it because you'd like to do it
bob vent
it's not an entirely foregone conclusion to not do something with the intent to improve just because someone else has already done it better

That's more or less the answer I get, but if you're "doing it for yourself" what's wrong with just kicking back, coasting, and only consuming instead of creating? I enjoy doing the easy thing way more than the hard thing, and the hard thing isn't even fulfilling to do these days in most cases

I mean, that's entirely personal. Many people find the struggle rewarding. If you don't. then I don't think you need to do anything difficult.

bullshitting around the thing you're interested in and making it work the way you specifically want it to work

It is, but there's only so much enthusiasm you got in the tank for these kinds of things
TinyBomby vent
I'm just saying I'm kinda in the same boat. I'm incredibly lazy and I don't put effort into anything and honestly I don't think that's a bad thing.

I was banging my head against the ranked grind on dota 2 with no measurable success until I decided one day to just sit back, relax, and try to inherit some of the knowledge that I could from my games
bob vent
after a 2 day break of replay reviewing and looking up guide content for the guys I wanted to play I then proceeded to hit a 6 game winstreak
bob vent
if the mid player on my team is retarded and feeding I can't personally make him not be that, but I can attempt to increase my own impact on the game to make up for what we lack
bob vent
so much shit in life though is really just based on doing something and then finding like-minded humans who are doing that same thing
Spooky Phijkchu vent
Other people's perspective on my "productivity" is not related to my fulfillment in life, and that is even further removed from anything related to my job or any professional accolades

A lot of people get hung up on the "value" they can produce, or struggle with needing an explicit external reward/validation to make something worth doing
Yes, this is it, and I have no clue how to fix that
bob vent
you have to come to terms with the fact that it really doesn't mean anything. like, who gets to decide what your value is when you can't do it for yourself and have to rely on others to do it for you? Who in the world could have that much authority? nobody, really. that's why you have to attribute value to yourself as you think is appropriate

i am in academia so I need to publish to stay employed
Rusp vent
I have a hard time putting why I like making things into words because saying "I like to make art" sounds GAY as FUCK
bob vent
I'm known to make some of the lowest effort shit imaginable just because I will laugh my ass off at it for at least ten minutes straight and then feel pride whenever I see it again
bob vent
most things are made for the self and have the nice side effect of being able to resonate with others who think similarly

You do not make something like toushin gent thinking "this shit gonna pop off"
ok but 10 years down the line, someone's gonna make a youtube video essay about Toushin Gent, watch it
Rusp vent
I mean I wouldn't be that surprised to see something like that if we lower the price to pennies and it sells a gazillion copies for 100 net revenue

I don't think there's an easy way to re-program your brain, and to varying degrees of intensity and frequency, everyone feels some form of decision paralysis and questions their own motivation or direction. We all know there aren't some universal sliding scales to chart yourself on, no meyers briggs test that will tell you how to find fulfillment, no productivity DNA to sequence Some people need to believe in long-term plans that they can see every bend and curve of, some live in the moment in the most absolute way. Some feel constrained by time being finite, some relish in it. Some only value external motivation/reinforcement, some only internal If you're not fulfilled, question what you're doing. at the micro or macro level, or both. Try new things, try old things, sometimes you have to force yourself, sometimes it'll come naturally. Slowly chip away at that and figure out what the fuck you want from life and how you want to live it. And every time you end up at the complete wrong place, get up and start again.

I love that finishing paying off my car dropped my credit score 30 points (from 810 to 780 but you know still what the fuck is this system)
Rusp vent
I think there is merit to a credit system, but I think it should be more based off of your past ability to pay things off on time and etc only
