Make life hard in only fun ways.
This is part of a broader point that suffering and hardship *is bad* and destroys the growth of knowledge.

suffering = being thwarted in some way
The overwhelming majority view is that going through hardships breeds growth and strength.

The opposite is true. People can only grow in spite of pain, not because of it.

'Self discipline' is a patch for being conflicted about what you want to do.

Often, productive people are interpreted as 'having discipline': able to force themselves to do the work even when it's unpleasant.

But creative productivity only ever works in *spite* of that.
"Discipline is remembering what you want."

When that works, it's not 'discipline'; it's getting less conflicted.
The real answer to productivity and motivation is to resolve the conflicts you have.

Once unconflicted about what to do, even hard work is effortless, motivation-wise.

(And fun. #ReasonIsFun)

It becomes effortful to *not* do it. It pulls you in and demands you keep working.
