Achievements? What are those? Why do people say you are supposed to feel good when you complete one? I've only ever experienced a moment of respite. No matter how hard or challenging, it is just a checkbox to be ticked before moving onto the next task, ad infinitum.

That word "supposed", you are not "supposed" to feel anything....you feel what you feel, accept that. Rather than valuing getting tasks completed, try to change your value to something like "I'm a dependable person", I am the type of person who you can depend on to help get that project across the line, but sometimes higher priority things will come up.

At the end, that is still a goal, no? It may not be a concise task/chore but it is still a thing to work towards? I don't understand how it fundamentally differs from any other "task"?
