You can... just solve some of your problems
For a long time, I have been annoyed with the ads on spotify music; In the middle of some relaxing music, comes an annoying blaring ad reminding me about the value of spotify premium. It took me about 20 minutes to solve a problem I have had for years --- My solution was to generate a csv to get my spotify songs and then a quick script in order to download the mp3's of the songs and a quick transfer to VLC mobile, where I can play my music with unmolested.
In retrospect, the problem was obvious but I didn't sit down and think of a solution for a long time. In fact, many problems in life have relatively obvious low-time investment solutions.
For these problems the problem isn't so much a solution but deciding to do something about it.
This is, I believe, a mindset issue I mean the solution to improving it is also very simple.
Simple does not mean easy but you just need to establish the feedback loop of
Although this might make you prone to slight underthinking, it is a vital solution to using your initial motivation as an activation energy to jumpstart building the habit to solve X so even when motivation fades you will solve and do X.
If each small problem contributes let's say 2% annoyance over a long term that effect compounds, it's far better to stop these tiny problems now. Problems like lack of sleep, and noise etc. have simple known solutions--- It's up to you and me to implement them.
