I never force myself to ‘work’. It is all self-motivated, which means:

I only start things because I have a personal self-interest in doing so.

I start things for fun, in a sense of curiosity. I got rid of my phone 2 years ago. I haven’t woken up with an alarm clock for nearly 10 years now. I am free to do what I want to do, when I want to do, and how to do it. As a consequence I am far more creatively productive than if I were simply being stirred on by a stick.
