I noticed it before I got into IT, but it seems to have gotten worse.

EDIT: Great comments guys, and thanks. I don't feel so alone. :)

I mean that's literally what it is from a psychological perspective. Your brain doesn't reward you for the mere act of finishing a task, so it's basically impossible to find motivation for it unless it ticks at least one box in your reward center.

It rewards you for it but the reward doesn't have enough time before it sets in and brain takes the reward back.
