It doesn't seem like it was always that way. At least, I've spent large amounts of time on a single project before. I do tend to get very unproductive during Summer.

1) Treat it as a disorder

I have Asperger's Syndrome.

2) Learn to live with less money, and find a way to not "work".

I plan on being a professional donor. I can live with less money. Unfortunately, there are others who will not live if I have less money.

Just because you're smart doesn't mean you have to do an intellectual job.

I have some resistance to doing a job like that. I think it's because I just want to create something. Somehow, this doesn't seem to do a lot to translate into me actually creating something.

Depending on the extent which you are willing to tamper with yourself to upregulate motivation, here are some things to look into:

adderall, ritalin, vyvanse, modafinil, nicotine, caffeine, piracetam, CDPCholine...
