<p>The two biggest obstacles to doing meaningful work are familiar to many of us:</p>
<ol>
  <li>Burden & complaint : The work feels like a burden (difficult, overwhelming, annoying) … you might do the task but you rush through it or mentally complain about it, not wanting to do it.</li>
  <li>Unimportant & putting it off: It doesn’t feel important to do this difficult task right now … so you feel like putting it off. You rationalize why it’s OK to put it off.</li>
</ol>

The first pattern makes our work (and things we have to do in our relationships and personal lives) feel like a huge burden, which makes us have a negative attitude towards the work. If you do this with your partner, they'll feel it. If you do this with your kids or other family members, they'll feel it.
