Why is it easier to focus on things that we don’t have to do (like watching YT, TV shows, movies etc.) rather than things we “must” (for example studying, working out, going to job, finishing project and so on) ?

As others said, well yeah it’s due to dopamine.
Doing those tasks is not only easier, but gives you instant gratification. Why do you have to work if you are enjoying yourself without any pressure? Working isn’t just tedious, but your mind doesn’t link it with a short term reward and hence dopamine, the reward chemical isn’t released to give you any motivation.
