Isn’t that constantly a thorn in your side though? Life is full of things that can feel intrinsically useless.

I’m constantly having to convince myself of the worth of things in order to finish them even when I may innately disagree with them. It feels like a never ending struggle.

I'm the same way, and can answer: lots of things feel sort of useless, but so long as they have a deeper purpose I'm all for them. Like I usually don't have a problem with motivation for taxes, even though they feel sort of useless, because I know they're important in general. Although this isn't totally reliable... you're right, sometimes something feels too useless and I have trouble starting it. But usually it's fine.
