Worked a consistent 9-5 remotely. Maybe it's ADHD or something else, but it took me a long time to become accountable to myself when there's no one watching over my shoulder. Especially when the weather is nice and the sun is shining and I'd rather be outside or talking to my friends. I still struggle with it sometimes. When I first started working, I used to cry every night because I knew I much less done and worked much less hard than I should have. And then did the exact same thing the next day.

I know "doing your job" is not the most impressive accomplishment. But it is hard for me. Much harder for me than kicking my nicotine addiction, working out every day, teaching myself math and computer science, and so on.
