this is not my experience. it’s sort of the opposite of my experience. if i went and play video game or read book all evening, i replenish my desire and ability to do useful work. if i have a vacation for week and just stay home and do what i want (aka “lazy”, by this post frame that i don’t accept. lazy is not natural category), then after some days i will be filled with enthusiasm and desire to do things (and then do and do them). on the other hand, i tried the “just use willpower” and find in counter-productive almost always.
disclaimer: i didn’t read all the post. i start to read, decide it will be actively harmful, and stopped. then skimmed it.
maybe there are people who need to use willpower, but in my experience it’s Fabricated Option.
what about, instead of forcing yourself do something you don’t want, try to work with all your different parts, instead of crashing some of them?
