What do you hate not doing?

Showering. I'm not being flippant.
In general, "dealing with life". I am prone to depression, the clinical kind, the kind that causes you to stay in bed or browse web aimlessly all weekend. The kind that makes it seemingly impossible to do the things that need doing, like finishing projects, calling friends, or taking a shower.
I wonder if the many other prone to depression people have similar reaction as I to "life-hack", "feel-good", "aphoristic" blogs/articles/people like this one. The reaction you might imagine a poor person has listening to a top 1%er ponder "which of my seven houses do I not hate spending the summer in".
Erm, I found that minorly confusing as to what you meant. Could you elaborate?
( I interpret his statement in light of my current state - in bed browsing the web aimlessly at 10am despite being on holiday in a hotel in a foreign city )
( Incidentally, I saw Jodrell Bank from the plane on the way here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodrell_Bank_Observatory )
People rarely view things from any perspective other than their own. It annoys me.
jodrellblank isn't correct btw. I'm not envious. I'm very cognizant and thankful for everything. Cause despite how shitty and hard I may think my life is I know it's comparatively "charmed". People are starving to DEATH in refugee camps cause some fuckheads were trying to genocide them. I can't even comprehend there being so little food that people die from lack.
I also hate not coding.
It can be hard to think of what you really care about: starting that way often leads to trying to deduce what you "should" care about. What you hate, though, is easily accessible. Negative emotions are right in your face, and they lead straight to clarity about what you deeply desire, if you follow the emotional thread for two hops or so.
The reason it's on HN is so we can discuss it -- it's hard to do that on his blog where the post already has 87 comments and are not threaded.
