How old are you and have you never had a job before? Perhaps you should look for a change of perspective, although there were places i worked it i absolutely hate and places i worked at were bearable, i always tried to make a challenge out of everything and try to compete to deliver the best results even if i was just doing the same task over and over again. That way i could enjoy my days and feel good about what i do.

I'm 21, had a few summer jobs that weren't bad but they were physical and not from my field.
I'm playing LoL a lot and it isn't really fun, but it seems working wouldn't feel the same.
I feel like it takes so long to accomplish something but on the other hand I've wasted couple of years that could be productive and I feel bad about it.
Why don't I have discipline?

This. Taking pride in your work will both make you look better in the company and help the days go by faster. Then make sure you have hobbies to do when you get home.

For the most part work isn't 'enjoyable' in that it isn't usually fun or pleasant in the short-term. Satisfaction from work is more a long-term thing, knowing that you have bettered yourself, or made a difference to the customer, or made a heap of money, or even simply done a good job.

'If you love your job you'll never have to work a day in your life' and other platitudes are a load of crap. Of course you don't want a job that is dead boring or that you absolutely hate but the idea that you will be able to find a job that is always enjoyable is absurd.

It can be but usually it's because you can distract yourself from work. It's kind of why it's called "work".

Like if you worked at a grocery store it would suck, but if you had an attractive co-worker or a really funny regular customer it makes it "easier" or maybe even "enjoyable".

Then if you're one of the lucky few who enjoy their job from lawyers to escorts the "work" never seems like work most days.

Hell yeah. I'm doing landscape stuff this summer. I don't really have any co workers to talk to, so I've been listening to podcasts and audiobooks. I've been having a great time doing light exercise while learning something or just having interesting conversation in my background.
