Charlie StrossI suddenly find I am taking a day off writing to vegetate and read random escapism and generally chill, and keep asking myself, "why?"
This isn't healthy.

I'm not judging you, I'm just wanting to understand-
1) It's not healthy to take random breaks on a whim? Stepping away from plans you made for yourself?
2) The things you are wanting to do are not things that will help you, or calm you, or improve you?
3) It's not healthy to ask 'why' when you decide to do this?
I'm just trying to figure out the ambiguity here, I apologize if I'm coming off at all critical (I am not!).
HollieK@cstross "Why not?"
Piers Cawley@cstross one could argue it's self care though.
Jakub Kotyza@cstross a pretty well known economist/philosopher here is calling it apocalypse tithe, give ten percent of your money/time/work to Bohemian lifestyle/chill, the world could end tomorrow.
Björn Fahller@cstross Or it's taking some time off, which is healthy.
I hope you find more energy again after recharging for a bit.
geofisch@cstross What do you read for escapism? That's all I've been able to do lately, and I'm getting tired of mediocre thrillers.
Dr. Anne, PhD@cstross didn't you recently have covid? If so, your brain is telling you that you're not fully healthy and you need to rest.
