I am still heavily struggling to get motivated to do work, or many things in my life, because it is so hard to focus or care. I'm not a nihilist; I simply don't feel motivated to do certain things despite knowing I would feel more proud and satisfied if I did it.

I acknowledge ritual and "doing things for others" is a component in my life: I joined a team sport years ago specifically to work out, because I would be obligated to do it vs. skipping it. I could drink alone or read alone, but I go to the bar to see people and be around people. I find it easiest to clean my home when I'm on a voice call with someone.

I haven't figured it all out.
