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) ?

Most things you choose to do provide you some form of enjoyment, which makes them easier to focus on. You wouldn’t sit down and watch a YouTube show that you hate, for example. But a lot of the things that we have to do aren’t fun, yet we still have to do them.

This definitely makes it easier for people who get the runner’s/lifter’s high to work out, for example.
