why do I come to resent work that I *have* to do, no matter how much I enjoyed it before when I did the same kind of thing for fun?
I think it's related to my instinctual resentment of applying self-discipline, like discipline should be unnecessary and I should just always have the awareness to pursue the most beneficial activity by default.

@tauroid or if i do what seems most interesting then the process of unraveling that interest should lead to good work being created
how do people who originate most of their own work professionally apply discipline without feeling like they're repressing themselves?
