I've noticed similar triggers and hooks and such with myself as a fellow introspective individual.
I suspect some of this is related to the dopamine hits that come from easy/early successes in things. It's why I've noticed when I get run down, the only games that really appeal to me are idle clickers because they are essentially just dopamine buttons with a front end.
I think you're on the right track with first identifying these things and then figuring out how to harness them. In essence, you have to understand an API's inputs and outputs before you start calling it, and that's what you seem to be describing by thinking of yourself as a framework.
One of the reasons it took me 10 years to be so opinionated about it is because I didn't want to believe this was the case. For a very long time I believed that if I thought I would want to do something, then I would go on and do it. But apparently that's not the case.
But I did notice if I observe myself and hook into it, then achieving my goals works quite a bit better. It's not perfect, but good enough.
