Definitely a “woah bruh 420 blaze it” kind of thought this eve, but I’m wondering if there is a philosophy, lifestyle, or technique that addresses this:
I often wish for some way of making anything worth doing, therefore removing the need to judge whether something is worth doing.
Many hours of my “free time” outside of work are a struggle of meta-evaluation re: “time investment” and feel it would be so much more peaceful to outgrow this mindset
Edit: Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and advice. Seeing both simple truths and nuanced anecdotes makes for wonderful reading, and I’m glad I put this question out there ✨
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius might help. It’s a bit hard to judge without knowing more about your situation.
You could also look into mindfulness. When I feel rushed by my internal monkey drive and I am tired of it, I just slow down. More and more, gradually. If it doesn’t go away I’ll simply stop what I am doing. I’ll just sit down on a chair lol. Trust me that drive will die down and that will give you space to live. Just want to do my darn dishes in peace!
