> I'm just about to hit 50% on the life meter. It's very motivating.

I feel like the exact opposite of this. Thinking about hitting x% on the life meter makes me feel kind of depressed. Could you share your mindset behind this thought?

I think it starts with being happy with what I've accomplished in life already.

I look and I think, "wow, I've already done so much, and I'm not even 1/2 way there!"

But if you're not happy with what you've already accomplished, I can see how it would be a demotivator.
