In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

Hard work does and doesn’t make me feel fulfilled.

If it’s mental work, I am more overwhelmed by the task of hard work for the sake of hard work without understanding the mission of the work being done. Busy work drives me bored, and even to the point where the boredom compounds with longer duration.

However if it’s physical work, the various iterations of how to execute the hard work give me the rush of flow state as I experiment with my execution. Sometimes having the focus on shortest duration, or high exertion intervals with rest periods, or even an endurance perspective. Adding knowledge on the final result also boosts the feeling of being fulfilled when I hit the target.
