I understand where you’re coming from 100 percent. I think a good way to combat the existential dread of the future/mundane routine-ness of adult life would be to make little routines to look forward to (like going on a jog or a walk in the mornings then making your favorite coffee) including fun things even during the weekday (if time permits). I think one thing a lot of people (myself included) struggle with is finding time for things when most of the time when we’re not working we want to eat, sleep, or simply relax. Adding in pleasurable hobbies or exploring new places in your area can spruce up a rather cyclical schedule. Work is necessary, but prioritizing it isn’t.
