[Question] How do you move past that initial fiery motivation/craving to consistent motivation, especially when doing the thing isn't particularly fun?

sometimes I get really inspired to do something, but the next day I don't want to do it as in I feel neutral about it. It's like I had an insatiable craving for something and then it goes away. I know motivation is fleeting and that to be consistent you have to be disciplined (but still there exists that driving force to move towards the goal) but the neutralness I felt was like I truly didn't care if I got towards the goal.

I noticed that for a similar situation in which I got really inspired to do something because of a NEGATIVE feeling (ex: taxes are due the next day, better get on it) the next day after the emotions have been neutralized I'm still drawn towards figuring out how to adjust myself so that in the future that feeling won't happen again. How come I don't have that for chasing dreams/positive emotions?

Looking for advice about motivation from atrioc or the community

I resonate a lot with atrioc about the gaming marathons and skipping college classes for weeks etc etc. I always needed a hard ass deadline to come close to get my butt to cram.

Even now I feel him where Atrioc has said he's lazy about going to the dentist or having no health insurance or putting off videos.

My question was how did Atrioc go from a gaming degen to wanting to grind the corporate ladder? Maybe I misinterpret but it also sounded like when he wanted to move jobs to nvidia from twitch, twitch was a snoozer job that my lazy ass would've loved.

Also maybe Atrioc was really passionate about his career and he didn't really need willpower to want to grind it?

Idk would love to hear thoughts about how to get better at doing stuff that you don't naturally want to do.

[pc][2000s][flash game] 4 color ninjas in an autoscroller, where you have to jump, duck, or somersault through laser(?) light things, and you have to choose the right color ninja at the same time.

Had a memorable soundtrack too

Why did dawn dish soap damage my glasses?

Read everywhere that people recommend dawn dish soap to clean.

I got dawn ultra (which I read was still fine) and used cold water, but maybe after the second time I cleaned my glasses with it, the a layer of the lens flaked off. Now there's a noticeable "puzzle" piece shape mark on my lens.

How does workforce keep track of callouts?

I'd assume automatic, but it doesn't update automatically, and also pretty sure they forgot to count 1 occurrence I have. Do managers have to log it?

Had a 5 hour shift (4.5 hour work, 30 min lunch) which was odd cause I usually have a 4.5 hour shift. Day got busy so I wasn't able to take my lunch on time. Manager flipped out saying I can't leave early even though if I stayed I would just take my 30 min lunch and then clock out anyway, and that I should work through my lunch (basically work 4 hour 55 mins) and that lunches aren't guaranteed (citing how managers have to work through lunches sometimes)
