You've put into words beautifully one of my main argument against getting a job.
I have a better one though: a job leaves almost no time or energy for actual work.

- standardUser 1y agoFor me, a stable job is key. The structure and accountability makes it hard to fail, and my (relative) lack of ambition ensures I don't over-commit or stress too much over work. It's everything else that I get lazy about! I have plenty of time, but it's too easy to do fun but unproductive activities. If something doesn't trigger my "oh no, this will lead to more responsibility" alarms, I can be very productive. For example, I love to plan a trip, because it has a discrete start and end and is entirely within my control.
- bloqs 1y ago>"oh no, this will lead to more responsibility" alarms these are the bane of my life, but as an anxious and unconcientious person, I just don't know how to solve them without doing literally nothing!
