That makes an awful amount of sense.
I sporadically ask myself, what would be the most fun to do for me?
And then just do it. After a short period of time, I'm usually exhausted or bored by it and come back to more meaningful stuff.
I got this advice from the now habit by Neil Fire. I haven't read the whole book, just skipped forward to the solution but it helps.
- reidalert 5y agoThis thread resonated with me a lot - instead of dividing time into 'good/productive' and 'bad/unproductive', it's worth acknowledging the signal my brain is sending when it wants to scroll HN/Reddit and responding to it directly, instead of scrolling on autopilot and then feeling vaguely guilty/dissatisfied. The times when I'm able to intentionally take a break feel much more restorative than the times when I'm acting out of avoidance.
