If you're working on something hard, and you're working on something you care about, and you're pushing the limits of what you're capable of (but stopping short of being overwhelmed completely), you can do this.

But most of the time, several of those factors aren't ones you can control. The reality is that we have to work on mundane shit that we don't care about pretty frequently. Learning how to do that is much harder than learning how to be maniacally into something insanely cool.
