Hi Aashir, I don't think this is bullshit — it is actually an interesting post. In my journey of productivity, what I've realized is that work can either come from desperation or inspiration:

Desperation may cause us to work desperately because we believe if we don't finish X then we will not deserve something in change. For example, "If I don't improve my development skills I will NOT be able to get the job I want".

Inspiration, on the other hand, is when we work smoothly on something just because we feel drawn or called to it. There is no "I NEED TO", one simply starts doing the thing you want to do, there is no discipline, motivation, or procrastination involved.
