I think I've said this before, but procrastination is protection against burnout. In corporate America, tasks immediately follow one another or even overlap. You're not allowed to take a day or two to reflect on a project and relax. So when you get that next project, maybe you unofficially delay starting it for a day or two.
the hidden cost of work
As someone who's been an unemployed student for most of their adult life, the difference in expenses between work and non-work life is completely staggering.
health (obviously). catching an illness from work; developing a complication to an already existing sickness or disability because you can't afford sick leave; hernias from picking up heavy objects, carpal tunnel syndrome from typing, other more severe accidents. weakened immune system from exhaustion... fixing any of these issues can be hella expensive.
transportation. When i don't have to be at an exact place at an exact time, i can usually get away with either walking or traveling without a ticket on public transportation while on the lookout for controllers. I can only have two reasons - socialize or run errands. Both of which can wait 20 minutes if i spot a controller and have to get down urgently. A job or internship are hardly as understanding. Still, paying the price of a ticket, humiliating as it may be, is no major hit at the wallet. But there's always the risk of missing the bus due to not budgeting your time to the last second - or trying to eat a proper breakfast, or being stuck in wayyy more important thoughts. That means calling a taxi, which costs about an hour of work.
food. Having to evacuate from your house within 30 minutes hardly leaves time for a nutritious meal. You gotta have iron discipline and meal prep in advance and carry tupperware boxed around, which a youthful spirit such as myself can't be bothered with. Which is why i waste at least 4 extra euros, even if only for a protein bar and energy drink.
food vol. 2. Since work fucking sucks, you crave to reward yourself after a long day - with snacks, alcohol, drugs, fast food, pastries... the list is endless. On my days off, i'm content with a healthy 15-minute meal. That's not the case for work days.
look, i'm ideologically anti-work and this is only one of the reasons why. but it would be nice if these expenses were at least considered. developing some time management is necessary and you gotta take responsibility for that, but the way time is viewed under capitalism is disgusting, especially to those of us who got better stuff to do...
the absolute luxury of being completely, unapologetically unoptimizedI am begging you to stop 'habit stacking.' Stop optimizing your REM cycles. We have reached peak efficiency sickness and my soul is rejecting the upgrade. Currently watching the internet collectively realize that trying to run your life like a silicon valley startup is a fast track to brain rot.Welcome to the era of Aggressive Sloth. We are no longer 'monetizing our hobbies' or 'maximizing our outputs.' Here is how we are reclaiming our peace:The Spite Nap: Sleeping not to recover, but to actively protest your inbox.Analog Chaos: Writing your important thoughts on a greasy receipt and then immediately losing it.Rotting, but Artistically: Lying on the floor while your smart watch vibrates itself to death begging you to take 250 steps.Your brain is not a machine. You do not need to scale. Sometimes the most revolutionary thing you can do is just exist as a highly complex, slightly damp carbon-based lifeform who does absolutely nothing of value today.

I rather work the land I live on and live off grid and be home more often than work for someone else just so I can never be home to enjoy my land/home.
I keep going through this moral dilemma about whether I'm a bad person for not having patience with every customer who snaps at me over genuinely scummy policies, or if the customers are bad people for taking out their anger on workers with no control over how the company is run. But at the end of the day, it's the people designing the worst business practices possible to scrape as much money from their customers pockets who are in the wrong.
Which is awesome, since we can easily change that by petitioning to get a watered-down version of the change we want on the bill, and if it has enough funding and advertisements, and if everyone is educated enough to understand it, and if voting is accessible to enough people, and it passes, we can hope that the president is too busy committing other crimes against humanity to say, "Nuh uh, I don't like that law, and I'm the king, so we're not doing it." And then hope our local legislation actually makes that change instead of saying they totally will later if we just let them have ONE more term, for real this time!! Awesome. I love #america /sarcasm
New job and I can only describe the owner as someone who has to bury his fingers to the wrist in every pie that comes through the shop.
