I'm pretty sure, left to my own devices, my life would be a series of weeks largely focusing on one or two things each. Some of these might last as long as a month or two, for bigger projects. Focused programming for a couple weeks, then a week of working on my house, then a week of garden building & set-up, then a week of working on music, a three-week run of research and writing, and so on.

What sucks is spending 50ish weeks a year doing 40 hours/wk of the same damn thing. I don't hate hard work—I love it—I hate lack of autonomy to choose what to work on, in a very broad sense. Work is nice, jobs are fucking awful.
