Creating a “playground” model to try different iterations of a building,… it was never meant to see the light of day. The Team used it to start the collaborative model. Clean up was a nightmare, and would have been easier to draw it again without all the junk… All for the sake of “not redrawing” and “saving time”.

Setting up and building a beautiful job just to have engineers go behind me and wreck it with poor modeling practices.

Well in fairness Revit is a movement driven by the architectural firms in creating a 3D atmosphere that is supposed to be collaborative. The fault lies in that when engineers shouldn't have to work in a 3d atmosphere for majority of things (it's more analysis than to scale).
Example: architects care about location of receptacle whereas electrical engineers care about the quantity and positioning of them.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
