Comment on Ask HN: Tell me what programming project I should finish

That’s the entire fun of it! If someone else could value your priorities, the value is in them now and no longer you!

Unfortunately, I seem to mostly value lying on the couch and browsing the internet.

Conversely, if someone pays me to sit at a desk, I'm quite motivated to do whatever they tell me!

A classic trick of the mind, I found this happened to me when the brain didn't want to go from 0-10, because it's too big an effort. Over time I learnt that if I do that first step without a crutch, all else will flow.

Why without a crutch? To wear that resistance. Money is a crutch, so are sweets and Youtube videos (these last ones are super strong). You can do it too, (wo)man.
