It doesn’t help that we have a fundamentally broken society to begin with.
Society hyperoptimized on
productivityprofit such that taking time to enjoy a side quest is frowned upon…While that’s true, there are common objectives that benefit the whole: food, shelter, health, art, and of course rest and recreation. The ability to prioritize and stick to a plan is challenging, for everyone. Who wouldn’t rather be doing something fun?
There’s a balance there somewhere. I often ignore it at my own peril.
