A useful framework for myself:

Checking in / tracking on 2x2 matrix of energy contribution vs intrinsic motivation

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

why would you want to do something draining?

Building /bright-moments - minting onchain art IRL | /purple #15 | FID 129 #magikarp

Maybe something necessary to condition yourself out of it being draining?

Like an unpleasant exercise that is going to get easier and more pleasant with time.
