how the fuck do you work on non-novel projects? i have no problem sitting down to a genuinely new project, but after about 2 weeks i'll get bored of it.
i have an older project i need to work again that'd earn me very significant amount of money and i just can't get myself to work on it. every day i miss is losing me lots of potential income, but every time i try to work on it i will yell "FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS SHIT I'VE HAD FUCKING ENOUGH" and stuff like that and progress incredibly slowly, constantly keep opening up Jow Forums/reddit/etc and only and only go back when i realize what i'm doing. maybe work 1 minute out of 10 in the meanwhile get so incredibly frustrated that it's just an insane pain. also keep yelling constantly.
how do you work on a project like that? it's not particularly demanding mentally, i vastly just need to modernize my old code, but it's just so fucking hard.
i do life-enriching stuff, but i need tips to get actual work done.

that's your sanity speaking The truth is programming is not fun and you fell for propaganda

>programming for free literally could not pay me enough to look at a text editor ever again .

programming is super fun when your projects are working, it's just not usually the case AT ALL.
but it's not the point, i don't need it to be fun, i just need to be able to work on it for extended periods of time. i'm fine with feeling like shit and suffering inside as long as i can work, but i don't seem to be able to.

it's not free. that's the point. i'm losing a LOT of money by not getting this shit done and still completely unable to work on it.

i don't watch anime at all, just didn't see a fitting picture for this in my folder so picked this, only have like 3 anime pictures there all of which i got from Jow Forums
i have made up what my goal with my life is at 17 and it never changed (am 32 now, also a self-made millionaire). haven't cared about how i feel since then, as long as i can get work done. feels pretty shitty usually desu
but i don't see how it makes me more soulless than the mindless zombies who just follow their primtive feelings/instincts
