Back in middle school, every time I actually "buckled down" and got a school project or paper done well and on time, my mom would ask, "Now, doesn't that feel good?" I would look at her quizzically, think for a second, and then say, "No, it doesn't."

Now, every time I accept more responsibility for things, even things that I care about, whether I feel obligated to help out or I just feel like volunteering, I end up getting really overwhelmed. Which would be worth it if I had this feeling of satisfaction when I finished. But usually, I just don't. Remind me why I agree to do things, again?

Because you're too nice?

And yeah, the problem is, there's always more to do whether you're done on time/early/late or whatever.

be glad that you're one of those successful people who aren't easily satisfied.

Pull your bootstraps, buckle down
Tip your hat and turn around.

Because you know what things you can do well and want to see them done with quality.
