I'm working on stuff I find deeply meaningful and yet I still struggle with focus and motivation. Working on things that are meaningful and inspiring is an important foundation, but there will always be tedious parts to meaningful work, and burnout can strike any project. The most helpful things I've found is to work alongside others if possible, to take care of your health, to switch things up periodically, and recognizing that getting just a few hours of work done a day is actually pretty good.
