Yeah I think there’s definitely something to this. I’ve had periods of time working at companies that I wasn’t aligned with, where motivation was virtually unreachable.

That said even if you’re working on something you love, there will be weeks where the work just isn’t fun, and that’s where this stuff comes in. I love the project I work on now, a chess improvement site, but sometimes I need to take a week to move cloud providers, or deal with App Store review, or work on marketing. Can’t always be fun even if the overall project is directionally aligned.
