Right now I am trying to build a quadruped robot and still a bit scared of that mathematics, but its awesome and I'll fight my way through it.
Because having something you can live for is a basic psychologic need that everyone has. Aswell as social acknowledgement

Also there are a few other things which come in handy like those two:

The cambridge tutorial is armv6 assembly only though. Which is kinda neat to poke around with, but not that much fun (imo). But doing baremetal for the raspberry is fun, just because it is a different architecture. The only problem I had with it was that the bcm-datasheet felt not very nice. It's kind of hard reading yourself through this. Or maybe it was so hard, because the topic in itself is pretty complex
I mean, you don't have to care about the architecture at all. You just throw some simple bits and characters at the screen and it displays that for you. I think the simplicity of that got these displays to the point where they are now
Plus I really dislike those slow animations and really can't stand them, but that's just preference I guess.
Discussion about this is here:
In the past year I have cleaned my mess of (social media) accounts and got rid of everything that is not needed and switched over to RSS (with Liferea). It works perfectly fine. No annoying notifications, no unnecessary mails, just new News when I feel like opening my RSS feed. A wonderful thing.
The answer could be something trivial like: "I waste too much time browsing hacker news after work. I need to stop that!". But it's not easy to just stop that. Better ask yourself a second question like: " what could I do instead?" And then just find a tiny little thing you could improve. Every tiny step can be a huge improvement
That sounds very comfortable and affordable
