Wait, are the rest of you feeling accomplished after finishing tasks?
I don't think that's really a thing. It's just a ruse to try to convince you to do more stuff.
It's like that "you feel great after running for an hour". Well I ran every other day for six months, I never felt anything other than sore and sweaty. It's all lies.
Those times when I've achieved runners high it was when I pushed myself to carry a heavier load, and walk faster. Never during endurance training.
I would feel my legs burn and there's a temptation to slow down, but that was the signal to forge on commit to walking faster.
At the time I had a very specific motivation for walking, and I wish I hadn't stopped walking when that motivation was gone. It's hard to start up again.
