I don’t feel like my job was particularly difficult though. Usually the tasks are quite simple. But organization, prioritizing and meetings with others can strain my energy fast.
I’m not sure I could play videogames for 8 hours per day if I only could get a single break at noon.
I would be tired and unhappy all the same (even though it would be a bit better, since I can actually choose what games to play. At work I don’t really have any choice in my tasks)
There is truth in that.
I actually like the things I do for work though. Or at least I like doing those things by myself for fun.
After having worked in the field for a few years, I noticed my enjoyment seems to have disappeared. Perhaps it’s the hours, or perhaps it’s the way that business can make anything boring. But I just didn’t like doing these things anymore.
And if I don’t like the things I really enjoyed in the past, then it feels like I will surely not like those things i disliked in the past.
I will still try though. But not easy to experiment with new things when you feel like you’re in survival mode all the time.
