The paradox is that the things you want often look shiny, glamorous, or anything other than boring, but the work required to get those things done is actually boring, and that’s where most people get it wrong.
You assume that there will be novelty in the work required to achieve what you want, but it’s not at all like this, and because of this reason, you doubt the process and you procrastinate.
The things you want might feel like novelty, but the process is the opposite.
