AceJohnny's Journal: What is "hard" ?

What are the qualities of a given task that make it "hard" ? Why are some tasks hard for some people, easy for others?

I propose that a "hard" task is one where I will have to overcome discouragement more. A hard task will require more motivation. The difficulties to be overcome include boredom, physical tiredness, and indecision, and self-doubt.

It is easy for me to write code. It is so difficult for me to seek a new job that I haven't done it in two years.
