working

I am sorry to inform you that you are addicted.

It would seem that you want information just the same as food or water. Your constant need to get your fix to reduce your feelings of uncertainty has impacted your brain.

I would venture too that my previous post on motivation is very connected to this need. Intrinsic motivation reasons and mental work that involves solving are pretty often hand in hand. Solving would of course feed the information addiction.


So go ahead, be motivated and feed your brain what it wants.

I mentioned this video last week to some people but I wanted to point out the link.

This video (18 minutes) is an excellent reminder of working on things you love and that you can add value to.

You are not a hammer and working is not a bed of nails.

But if you are, ask for more money :)
