"What makes you feel icky, irritated, annoyed or off-track if you don't do it enough?" Showering. I'm not being flippant. In general, "dealing with life". I am prone to depression, the clinical kind, the kind that causes you to stay in bed or browse web aimlessly all weekend. The kind that makes it seemingly impossible to do the things that need doing, like finishing projects, calling friends, or taking a shower. I wonder if the many other prone to depression people have similar reaction as I to "life-hack", "feel-good", "aphoristic" blogs/articles/people like this one. The reaction you might imagine a poor person has listening to a top 1%er ponder "which of my seven houses do I not hate spending the summer in".

  He isn't driven to do anything, and is (somewhat) envious of someone who has a choice of things they are driven to do. ( I interpret his statement in light of my current state - in bed browsing the web aimlessly at 10am despite being on holiday in a hotel in a foreign city ) ( Incidentally, I saw Jodrell Bank from the plane on the way here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodrell_Bank_Observatory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodrell_Bank_Observatory )

  Yeah, I've spent 20min trying think of a way to elaborate without much luck... People rarely view things from any perspective other than their own. It annoys me. jodrellblank isn't correct btw. I'm not envious. I'm very cognizant and thankful for everything. Cause despite how shitty and hard I may think my life is I know it's comparatively "charmed". People are starving to DEATH in refugee camps cause some fuckheads were trying to genocide them. I can't even comprehend there being so little food that people die from lack.
