Ah, but sometimes it is. That’s a hard learned lesson.

Hmmm! Bookmark your comment here and come back after a few years, or perhaps a decade. I hope you smile by then, and then spend some time doing nothing.

Sry, missed the /s.

I figured if you were as crazy as OP about "optimizing" then sitting doing nothing would surely be anathema.

Similar to doing nothing being valuable, sometimes doing something "optimally", just isn't worth it -- how do you enjoy cooking a meal you've never cooked before of You're trying to hyper optimally meal prep for the week?

Sometimes I'm tired and don't realize it, so doing nothing until I'm bored sometimes pays off better than forcing myself to do "something"
