A good workflow should be a virtuous circle so automate the kind of tasks you don't enjoy and then you will be left with the intrinsically motivating tasks that feed the virtuous circle.

Creative activities like writing, painting, coding, and composing are intrinsically motivating. Establish processes so you focus on creating and not managing.

A spaced repetition writing system lets you focus on writing about topics you are currently interested in without having to worry about losing them or running out of material.
