I think you need a balance. If you're completely stuck most of the time, you're going to start dreading work. But if you never have to make a real effort, you will be bored.
The first part is true from personal experience. If you make no progress on something you'll start to wonder if you're the real problem. That's not fun, and more importantly traps you in a cycle of wanting to get out, but being scared that you'll just fuck up the next thing you work on.
