I managed to get through college keeping the same crappy (read: None) study habits as in high school, but I&#x27;ve always struggled with gaining the work ethic to actually work on side projects I&#x27;m interested in instead of coming home from work and playing video games all night or other vices. I&#x27;ve almost gained a secret terror inside myself that I am just not the type of person to have a strong enough work ethic to get into the habit of developing in my free time and its been difficult for me to self motivate, even though once I get started, I tend to enjoy programming outside of work. I get all my work done quickly and efficiently at my job, but I almost wish that I didn&#x27;t have a high natural aptitude so I would have had a strong necessity to gain these skills for my personal life.
