If I find a project interesting, I make progress on light-speed. My coding becomes productive; my mood stays happy. This also happens when I work on my own ideas, side projects, etc.<br> But I find it extremely difficult to work on projects I don't like! I cannot make any progress even for months in such cases. During such a period, I can't even work on any other projects as well. E.g., projects I like working on, my side projects, or some interesting ideas I have in todos. That only increase the number of pending tasks. Because when I sit at my desk and start writing codes, the unfinished tasks on the projects I don't like becomes a burden. And I have that urge to finish it first and then start working on other projects. But again, I cannot make any progress there. After opening the project files, I start browsing the internet mindlessly. My mind feels like avoiding starting working on the project at any cost. And at the end of the day, I feel depressed because there is no progress. I'm stressed about the jammed tasks.<br> I'm trapped, frustrated, and depressed; Please help me out of this. <br> Please advise what can I do in such case. </p> productivity motivation help management
