I'm so tired of these articles that rehash the same idea over and over. Feel like life is too short to setup some complicated discipline system to force yourself to chug something down that you hate.

You either enjoy doing it or you don't. Focus on deriving joy out of the process and not the end result.

What's the greatest accomplishment you're aware of that didn't require "chugging down" some hard work that the person hated?

Fair point. All great accomplishments require some grunt work. This leads one to wonder whether or not people who work crazy hours have a high tolerance for bs and pain or enjoy some of the hard work and perseverance anyways. I believe the latter.

Most of the successful people I know tend to enjoy the process and don't seem to be extremely occupied with results.

But based on the post, I felt that if you want to learn a skill you should have some fun or be interested enough in learning. Setting four hours blocks with specific goals don't help. I believe that it's not that people have problems entering deep work that's causing people not to sit down and read through repositories, but they don't care enough, or enjoy the process of learning that's preventing them from making significant progress.
