I love the way this inverts the typical angle on productivity. "Motivation is a skill"… but not in a making-bullet-lists or use-a-pomodoro sense; rather, the skill lies in getting better at amplifying the quiet voice that's telling you what you find most meaningful.

Motivation is a skill. Wanting things is not something you can just “do” beyond lollipop level at age 3. You have to learn to zoom in on the thing that vaguely attracts you, with enough precision that the motivational feedback loop kicks in. Like a starter motor.
