Hi, I'm a recovering information addict. My particular outcome that I optimized for is to learn to sustainably coevolve with information, something I am and am immersed in, according to the perspective that all existence is information.
Inefficiency is not the same as adaptability; it is a strategy for adaptation & one that's more sustainable than perfectionism.
What you subjectively call slacking, I call rest or emotional avoidance. Rest is extremely undervalued in this capitalistically enslaved world; people are literally working themselves to death or debilitation. Emotional avoidance is highly promoted in America; escapism is the norm for those who distract themselves from their emotional growth, whether it be via video games, binge watching stuff, following and debating politics, or just learning things. I'm not saying those activities are bad, btw...simply that people are using them addictively to avoid working on themselves & we can see it reflected in social media all over the place.
Slacking to me: remaining the same person I was 3 months ago. If my personality isn't changing, I'm certainly not growing.
