When you're excellent at work that feels pointless

I turned in another excellent piece of work today, the kind people point to as the standard, and I felt absolutely nothing about it. I'm genuinely good at this, and I think the whole thing is pointless. Being this skilled at something I can't bring myself to care about almost makes it worse, because I can't even tell myself I'm bad at it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You do excellent work on things you find completely pointless.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
