I have a master's project I'm having trouble working on. It's something I've wanted to do
What has changed since?
I rarely complete projects. To some extent, I shift which project I want to do the most, but the big problem is that most of the time my productivity hovers around zero. I have something I want to do, but I rarely do it. Even when I do work on it, I don't usually spend much time.
One interesting thing I've noticed is that when I have stuff I have to do, like school, I stay more productive. During summer, I have more free time. The amount of my own work I get done seems to stay about constant.
I think when I'm most productive is when I gain free time. It takes about a week for my productivity to drop, so I can get more done in that time frame.
I have a master's project I'm having trouble working on. It's something I've wanted to do, and I even started working on, long before I started my master's degree. If I can't even enjoy that, then I'm doomed to spend eight hours a day doing something I hate for the rest of my life. Even if I manage to improve my willpower, I doubt I'll be very productive doing something I don't want to do.
Does anyone have any idea how I can enjoy working more?
