Okay but like, why don’t you do something for yourself instead of working for someone else.
I’m convinced people with this attitude can’t think for themselves and must be directed by a superior or they’re useless.
Focus on yourself instead.

I do do things for myself. What I do for work is also my hobby, but I have zero self control. I would happily dive into my side projects for weeks on end just to have them crash and burn from burnout or from my getting side-tracked.
Last time I wasn’t working I lasted about six months before I had to get back to some sort of work simply because my own personal projects became extremely boring. Even things I have put years into at this point, I ended up getting bored quickly even though I hadn’t increased my workload
To be clear, I wouldn’t be working full-time, but I enjoy the unique challenges that work brings me. It gives me things to think about and solve that I wouldn’t have considered, and that helps keep the burnout at bay

You’re really just reaffirming my position here. You can’t keep yourself interested without having someone else direct you.

No, I just need to be better about moderating myself. I still work on my side projects quite a lot, but having something else to do helps keep me motivated.
