> indulging your wants
Shoulds and wants are something we're speaking about with my Other Half, but it's easy for me to identify shoulds but hard to identify wants.
> If you think yourself the sole architect of your misery
Since I don't have to be in unsafe places, it's really hard to blame anyone else but myself.
> I ask you to be lenient enough to squeeze more productivity out of yourself.
I think I'm being too lenient with myself as is. I need to be actually more productive in stead of less so.

> One thing that may need checking is whether you are neurotypical or have, say, ADHD.
Isn't adhd something that'd start in childhood? As in adults can't have it? I was a straight-A student but then I never needed to study, either. Also being put on tranquilizers, antipsychotics, and literal meth and locked up in a psych ward would not be experiences I'd want to experience right now.
My remaining family would be overjoyed, and an extra psych eval or clearance flag isn't something the part of my family that could still serve need right now.

Internet addiction is tricky desu, since I can't pull the plug (can't work), can't dns ban myself (my work pc has news sites and wikipedia), and even if I do, I just start making the code better in stead of actually working and researching methodologies.
> Remember, it is objectively better to do 30% 100% of the time than to manage 100% 10% of the time.
If I can do 100%, why should I settle for less? For me, what's hard in exercise isn't following through, but taking the first step or first pedal turn.
> Of course, that would require you to enjoy the process and not hate the end result for being flawed..
Writing. Even if/though I enjoy worldbuilding, making an actually coherent story in that world shows my lack of imagination clearly. And in drawing, I'm even worse.
