Can you give an example? I think my current problem is that I can’t formulate a goal that I deep down find motivating enough to attain. Maybe that’s depression, but I’m not sure.

I get that it’s pretty subjective, but I am just curious how people think.

My ‘unrealistic’ motivation is this dream of designing my own chip based on the POWER ISA to use as a dedicated workstation. The idea is so exciting because of how much technical expertise is required—it’s not like anyone has a semiconductor fabrication facility in their garage… oh, wait.
