Work habits and Vygotsky

Im terrible. I have a real and bizarre affectation of work habitude. I set these weird goals for myself to do X amount of work, on different stuff, random things, Camp Freedom Logos, CD covers, Websites, toys, paintings and they all seem to enjoy simmering in my brain rather than be actually expressed. Thinking of doing vs. actual doing. Is it that just sitting down and going through the motions of work artificially, somehow becomes actual work? Do people notice the difference between heartless automaton constructed work and passion fueled genius? I am starting to doubt that anyone can, or perhaps the latter is far more uncommon than I previously believed.

Also, thinking a lot about apprenticeship vs. class based instruction. Inquiry vs. passive education models. Vygotsky  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Vygotsky and such. Anyone down with Vygotsky? He is the current topic of conversation around the DeFwis household.
