I disagree. I might enjoy 2 months of sitting on my couch, smoking weed, and playing video games stoned out my gourd. That time would still be very much wasted

  Not sure if you meant it as a pun, but if so: slow clap.

  That's just because you limit your view to 2 months and look at it in a vacuum. If you extend your timeline, you may find that you get bored or restless and want to change things up. That "wasted time" is necessary in order to get into a different headspace. It's the equivalent of riding an elevator for your brain... It takes you to a different stage of life.

    Doubtful. I had severe mental trauma happen to me when I was 19 and I basically become an emotional wreck who played video games until I was 26 or so. It was just a way to avoid confronting my issues and I became an exceptionally good World of Warcraft player. I hate that I wasted so much of my prime years “self medicating” with video games. It wasn’t until I quit World of Warcraft that I met my wife (maybe a week after!) I wish I’d gone to therapy or done literally anything else. It took years for me to finally feel disgusted enough with myself to make any sort of change and I was a wreck when I did. I’d barely improved at all, if not gotten worse than I was when I got emotionally messed up at 19.

      Ok, but that's an extreme case - that may have been bad whereas someone taking half a year off after working extremely high pressure job for a decade can be good.
