It's not the same. Work requires you to finish. Just having a list of things is not the same. You get lazy, you shift to the next thing too early, etc.

That’s part of cultivating an interest in other activities. Figuring out how to make time for them and following through till completion.

The external motivation is not succumbing to dementia.

I’ve seen people suffer from dementia. At the moment I’d rather have the option of euthanasia rather than live like that.
