Occasionally I have these days where I don’t feel like doing work or chores. So I’m thinking, why not just enjoy myself, do something that interests me?

But then I don’t find any motivation to do anything really. Not even the things I normally enjoy very much.

Typically I would then waste time browsing or watching videos, but that seems to make it worse. How to snap out of this?

    I feel like this has a similar effect to meditation. Every time I just wait for a moment and see what my brain suggests I do (instead of just keeping wasting time on my computer), it actually feels pretty ok. Like even if I remember I still have to do cleaning, actually doing the cleaning at that moment feels less effortful and takes less time.

    I think it’s a good suggestion. Just the moment that I need it the most, is also the moment that I won’t be able to pull myself from whatever I’m doing at that moment. Maybe I should try and make it more consistent, have a specific moment each day to just do nothing…
