One of the few people who are actually competent.

Although most likely she’s well compensated, and doesn’t have to waste time on useless efforts at work, this level of discipline and striving towards a goal is just very rare in general.

Possibly also no family, limited social life and no other hobbies.

2021 and 2022 was also when many places were only just coming out of COVID lockdowns. I remember how much dead time I had back then. I used it to watch lots of series and youtube videos. I wish I had the discipline and motivation to work like she did during that area with all that free time.

Yeah same. I made a dent in my gaming backlog and TV shows and built a gaming computer that has only ever been used to play Factorio (notably, a game that can probably be played without a GPU).

Half of me kinda wants another lockdown so I can do more discipline-y stuff but the other half is like, dude you're just gonna waste it playing more games. I just gotta face the music - I'm just not disciplined and I just don't have the drive.
