I will share here a video that really impressed me because it deals in a brilliant way with a topic upon which I struggled a lot during high school and college years:
HOW DO I GET THINGS DONE WITHOUT MISSING OUT THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE

boring.
So we have emotions and memories of fun and joyful experiences which give sense to our lives and on the other hand boring stuff which is, usually, intended to be useful for your future AND ultimately make you joyful as well, but in the future.

In the video is shown more precisely how you can manage these two and get things DONE while ENJOYING your life-
