Why bother learning things that are easy?

When it's somewhat irrelevant to focus on the hard things, which are more appealing, I find it's frustrating not being motivated to solve the more pressing, easier issues because they're not "fun"

Some learning is for necessity, rather than for its own enjoyment.
