      biology is an objectively terrible career (sorry biologists) academic economics would have made me miserable like my parents were miserable my first job out of grad school was soul killing and dishonest this is not sour grapes, they are good for some people for sure

      the one major downside to all this is that I think I would be much more successful at my current job and hence richer if I were capable of significant executive function my performance reviews usually boil down to "your great on technique but jfc get your shit together"

      im getting better though. the trick seems to be getting good enough at what im doing that I don't actually have to think about it that hard --> move very quickly ---> fewer opportunities to get distracted by more interesting things

      overall I think being hopelessly undisciplined has been a net positive on my life in spite of the occasion drawbacks and that feels immensely fortunate.

      I feel you. I'm getting better at it, but often, having patience with myself is hard. Especially when I want to do a thing that I want to do. A thing that I know is fun. That is going to make me feel good. That is going to make bank. But… just… just can't. sucks.

      I think it makes me good at the things that I really really care about. But maybe I just really really care about the things that I happen to be good at.

          I lucked out like hell finding a niche where I can combine the two. I seem to have a weird thing for optimizing parts of that job and my brain, at some point, seems to have decided "oh lol, bank maxing the hell out of this fun"
