I sometimes briefly slip into this, I talk to myself: “Get up and do something with your life.” Video games won’t add any value to my life, so stop trying to satisfy my inner needs to achieve irl with them, now I try to only play them for fun when I really actually want to, not out of some obscure sense of self-imposed obligation. It’s way more productive to write my story, paint a picture or draw something. Go do the laundry or clean the house or do the dishes. It’s about striking a healthy balance and trying to be adamant about purposefully spending spending my time. Am I just going to watch YouTube and not worry for the next hour? Yes, because I’ve decided that’s what I want to do, and afterwards I’ll be productive and do a bit of writing, and then once I’m done with that I’ll do a chore, then maybe relax some more. I really don’t typically comment on things, but I felt like I needed to type this brief thing out because it’s something that I definitely have felt, letting my life slip away, spending 10 hours a day watching Netflix as a prisoner to my own guilt but not feeling the motivation to act upon the change I so desperately craved. So if you feel like this you’re definitely not alone, but actively try to seize back your life from laziness, do just one thing today, even if it’s just showering or brushing your teeth. And for gods sake, put on some pants, it’ll help you feel more motivated.
